ALBAWABA- A federal appeals court has dismissed former President Donald J. Trump's argument of absolute immunity, clearing the way for him to stand trial on charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, as reported by the New York Times.
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit marks a significant setback for Trump, although he is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court.
This decision addresses a legal question previously unexplored in American jurisprudence: whether former presidents can be held accountable for actions taken while in office.
