Donald Trump can be prosecuted for trying to overturn the 2020 US election, a federal appeals court ruled, rejecting his claim of immunity and moving him closer to trial before November’s presidential vote as he seeks to return to the White House.

    Got some pot on you? Straight to jail. Try to overthrow the government? See you in 3+ years where you MIGHT get a slap on the wrist but also might get to be president again.

      As mentioned in the other two places you copied this comment…

      The outcome is that he is NOT immune to prosecution. That’s a good thing.

    It’s important that this came back quickly. The Supreme Court already turned this down once. I doubt they’ll take it up.

    I’m not sure when the other pending case will be allowed to move forward based on this.
