Some legal experts are growing anxious about how long it is taking a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel to rule on former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity claim.
Trump appealed U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s ruling rejecting his argument that presidential immunity shields him from election subversion charges because he committed the acts while in office. A three-judge panel heard arguments last month but has not issued a ruling as the case remains stayed. Any ruling is expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
