A US court has ruled that Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity and could be tried for conspiring to subvert the 2020 election.
The former US president had claimed that he was subject to a regime immunity Regarding criminal prosecutions for actions he said fell within his duties as president. As the BBC reported, the resolution issued today (6/2) in Washington refutes this claim. This is a blow to Donald Trump, who has relied on presidential immunity for years.
The former president is expected to appeal the ruling, meaning the case could eventually reach the Supreme Court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority. US Special Counsel Jack Smith accused Trump (77 years old) of conspiring to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 elections and committing fraud to remain in office.
The trial in this case was originally scheduled for March 4, but was postponed pending a decision on the immunity request. The matter could be delayed for weeks, if not months, if the case reaches the Supreme Court.
