A federal judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s attempt to dismiss the 2020 election subversion case in Washington, ruling that the former president is not immune from prosecution. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected Trump’s expansive view of presidential power, asserting that the office of the President does not grant a lifelong immunity from criminal liability. The decision challenges Trump’s defense team’s arguments, emphasizing that former Presidents are not exempt from federal investigation and prosecution. Trump’s lawyers are expected to appeal the ruling, setting the stage for a legal battle as the trial approaches in March 2024.
