Appeals court hears Trump immunity claim in federal election subversion case: Listen live
Former President Trump is expected to be in the courtroom Tuesday as his attorneys attempt to persuade a three-judge appeals court panel that he is immune from his federal 2020 election subversion indictment.
Special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump with four felonies for allegedly conspiring to overturn the election results, but Trump has contended that he has immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his presidency.
The argument before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET and scheduled to last 40 minutes, although it could run longer.
Tuesday’s panel comprises Circuit Judges Karen Henderson, a George H.W. Bush appointee; Michelle Childs, a Biden appointee; and Florence Pan, also a Biden appointee.
