Former President Donald Trump is appealing a ruling that found he is not immune from criminal prosecution as he runs out of time to delay or even derail an upcoming trial on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Lawyers for the 2024 Republican presidential primary frontrunner filed a notice of appeal on Thursday indicating that they will challenge US District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision rejecting Trump’s bid to derail the case headed to trial in Washington DC in March. The one-page filing was accompanied by a request from the Trump team to put the case on pause so the appeals court could take up the matter.
