In a late-night filing, former President Trump's attorneys have urged a federal appeals court to grant him immunity from prosecution in his federal election subversion case, further intensifying an already fierce legal battle. Laying claim to the protection of presidential immunity, Trump's legal team argues that his actions were carried out in his official capacity as president to ensure election integrity.
The filing comes after the Supreme Court rejected a request to expedite a hearing on the case last Friday. As a result, the appeals court is slated to hear oral arguments on January 9th, sparking anticipation among legal experts and political observers alike.
