Former President Trump is set to face a crucial legal battle this week as he presents an unparalleled defense in court. On Tuesday, a D.C. appeals court will hear arguments regarding Trump's assertion of presidential immunity from prosecution in the federal election subversion case against him. To gain more legal perspective on this landmark case, we turn to Harry Lipman, a former U.S. attorney.
The notion of presidential immunity from prosecution seems to contradict the very foundations of our Constitution and the principles on which our nation is built. Lipman believes that the court's decision will likely align against Trump. He has confidence that the rule of law will prevail and the wind will blow heavily against the former president's claim.
