Former President Trump's immunity claim rejected by Appeals Court

George Conway finds former President's use of "hostages" term morally obscene.

The former president's defense team argued in court today that his actions following the 2020 election were protected by presidential immunity. However, critics denounce this claim as absurd and morally obscene. They argue that referring to the individuals who committed crimes on January 6 as 'hostages' is a clear distortion of the truth.

Many believe that the former president's immunity claim will not hold up in court. Observers point out that the side facing the most questions during legal proceedings is usually the one that ends up on the losing side. Furthermore, it is noted that the former president's desire to put on a show and portray himself as a victim of political persecution may not have any significant legal impact on the outcome of the proceedings.
