An appeals court in the US has ruled that former President Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution and can face charges for trying to overturn the 2020 election. The court stated that the claim of presidential immunity from criminal liability is unsupported by precedent, history, or the Constitution. This ruling means that Trump can be prosecuted for actions he took while in office, including the run-up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Trump is expected to appeal the decision, and the case may ultimately be decided by the US Supreme Court.
