Chatkan’s verdict brought Trump one step closer to being indicted for attempting to interfere with the vote count and congressional ratification of Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory.
Donald Trump plans to appeal a ruling by Judge Tanya Chatkan, who rejected his claim that he enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution for his actions during his presidency.
On Dec. 1, Judge Chatkan put the brakes on the Republican tycoon’s bid to drop charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election. As she pointed out, there is no legal basis to conclude that US presidents cannot face criminal charges after leaving the White House.
A federal appeals court – and possibly later the US Supreme Court – will consider the issue, and therefore the start of the trial is likely to be delayed. The trial is currently scheduled to begin in March.
Chatkan’s verdict brought Trump one step closer to being indicted for attempting to interfere with the vote count and congressional ratification of Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential victory.
A statement from his campaign staff reiterated that Trump “enjoys complete immunity” from prosecution and trial related to the performance of his White House duties. The Republican tycoon has pleaded not guilty and accuses prosecutors of seeking to hurt his campaign.
