In a momentous court proceeding, the appeals court heard arguments on Thursday regarding former President Donald Trump's claim of immunity. The three-judge appellate panel delved into the question of whether Trump can be held criminally responsible for actions taken during his time in office to overturn the 2020 election results.
Trump's legal team began the hearing by asserting that prosecuting a former president would set a dangerous precedent, opening a Pandora's box of potential prosecutions. They argued that Trump was acting within his official capacity when the alleged actions, mentioned in the indictment by Special Counsel Jack Smith, took place.
