Former President Trump’s attorney argued before a federal appeals court Tuesday that the former commander-in-chief and 2024 frontrunner has presidential immunity from charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation, while warning that President Biden is "prosecuting his number one political opponent and his greatest electoral threat."
Both Trump and Smith attended the hearing before the federal D.C. Appeals Court on Tuesday.
The panel of three judges, two of whom were appointed by President Biden, heard arguments from Trump attorneys and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team.
