A three-judge panel is set to hear former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a lower court decision rejecting claims that some of his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, were protected by presidential immunity.
Scheduled for Jan. 9, it’s the second major appeal of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) prosecution of President Trump in D.C. The former president will make an appearance at the hearing.
President Trump confirmed on Jan. 8 that he would attend, stating, “Of course, I was entitled, as President of the United States and Commander in Chief, to Immunity. I wasn’t campaigning, the Election was long over.”
