Trump Indicted for Attempting to Overturn 2020 Election
Federal Appeals Court Rules Trump Not Immune from Prosecution
Former President Faces Indictment for Role in Capitol Riot
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed during his time in office. The decision comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department against Trump, alleging that he incited the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The court's ruling is a significant blow to Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that he is immune from prosecution for any crimes he may have committed while president. The decision paves the way for the Justice Department to move forward with its investigation into Trump's actions leading up to and during the Capitol riot.
In a statement, the Justice Department said that it is "pleased with the court's decision" and that it "will continue to investigate the events of January 6th and hold accountable those responsible for the attack on our democracy."
