The Colombian appeals court has given Trump until Feb. 12 to file a request for an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court, giving lawyers time to prepare a robust appeal. Otherwise, the case returns to the trial court in Washington for further proceedings.
Rakurs wrote that the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled that Trump does not have presidential immunity in the federal case over the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol.
In the context of this criminal case, former President Trump became Citizen Trump, entitled to the same rights to defense as any other criminal defendant, the decision states.
In August 2022, Donald Trump was accused of trying to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. In particular, the prosecution believes that Trump tried to interfere with the vote count and was also going to prevent Congress from confirming that Joe Biden won the election.
Trump himself has not admitted guilt, and his defense team insists he has “unlimited immunity” because the charges relate to actions he took while president.
