Appeals court rejects Trump's immunity claim in federal election interference case
==========

A three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals has rejected former President Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity in his federal election interference case. The judges stated that for the purpose of this criminal case, Trump is considered citizen Trump and does not have immunity. Trump had sought the dismissal of the case on the grounds of absolute immunity from prosecution for actions taken while serving as president. The Supreme Court had previously denied a request to immediately take up Trump's claims of immunity, and the issue may still go before the Supreme Court depending on the appeal.
