Former President Donald Trump's plea of presidential immunity in his federal election interference case was denied Tuesday by a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals.
The uncontested decision means that Trump, now a private citizen, is not protected from prosecution for his alleged attempts to nullify the 2020 election results. The decree leads the way for Trump to stand trial on charges related to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, including scheming to swindle the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding.
