Trump Says He’ll Show Up for Court Hearing on Presidential Immunity

Donald Trump says he’ll attend a federal appeals court hearing Tuesday in Washington, D.C., about his claim of having presidential immunity from prosecution.

Confirming his attendance in a Truth Social post Monday, he added: “Of course I was entitled, as President of the United States and Commander in Chief, to Immunity.”

Trump maintains that he has “absolute immunity” against allegations that he attempted to defraud the U.S. government and obstruct Congress by plotting to overturn the result of the 2020 election in his favor. He claims that his election subversion case—one of four criminal indictments faced by the 2024 GOP frontrunner—should be dismissed on the grounds that former presidents can’t be prosecuted for actions taken in office related to their official responsibilities.
