Donald Trump Is Not Immune from Prosecution

WEB News on former President Donald Trump and the Trump administration

Trump isn’t leaving himself many options.

Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to reverse the 2020 election results. A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Trump can be sued by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) for allegedly inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The ruling is a major blow to Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that he is immune from prosecution for any actions he took as president.

The judge's ruling is based on the fact that Trump's alleged actions do not fall within the scope of his official duties as president. The judge also found that Trump's actions were not protected by the First Amendment. Trump's lawyers have vowed to appeal the ruling, but legal experts say that the judge's decision is likely to be upheld on appeal.
