Trump's Legal Battle: Challenging Presidential Immunity

Donald Trump to Present Case to U.S. Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump is set to present his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, aiming to overturn a ruling that removed him from the ballot in Colorado due to his involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. His legal team argues that the constitutional provision invoked by his opponents does not apply to him as a former president.

Legal Battle and Trump's Claims

This appeal, scheduled for Thursday, is part of a series of legal actions in which Trump has sought to position himself above the law. With a 6-3 conservative majority, including three Trump appointees, the Supreme Court faces the challenge of addressing Trump's claims of immunity, which extend beyond the Colorado case and encompass criminal and civil litigation related to the 2020 election and defamation claims.

Skepticism from Legal Experts

Legal experts express skepticism about the viability of Trump's immunity assertions, warning of the dangerous precedent it could set if upheld by the highest court in the land.
