Former President Donald Trump has once again proven that he does not shy away from a good old legal battle! This time, he’s filed a motion to the Supreme Court, asking them to put the brakes on a pesky appeals court decision that threw out his claim of presidential immunity. The nerve of those judges!
The appeals court, in a ruling on February 6, had rejected Trump’s assertion that he’s immune from prosecution over his objections to the 2020 election results. Talk about a slap in the face! But fear not, because Trump is not throwing in the towel just yet.
JUST IN: Trump will appeal presidential immunity issue to the Supreme Court

In a legal brief, Trump’s legal eagles cautioned that putting him on trial during the high-stakes arena of election season would seriously mess with his campaign mojo. And let’s be real, we all want to see Trump back in action for the 2024 election, right? He’s asking the Supreme Court to hit pause on the trial until the full panel of judges on the D.C. Circuit can take another crack at the case.
And if that’s not enough drama for you, get this: the former president was supposed to be on trial in March, but that got yanked from the schedule faster than you can say “Make America Great Again.” With all this legal wrangling, who needs reality TV?
But wait, there’s more! The Supreme Court is already gearing up to hear a case about the government’s use of some fancy legal theory to go after the January 6 rioters. And wouldn’t you know it, half of those charges are related to Trump’s election challenges. It’s like a legal soap opera!
Trump’s legal team is sounding the alarm bells about the implications of letting this case go forward. They’re warning that without immunity, the presidency we all know and love will just crumble to dust. They’re even throwing around phrases like “undue pressure” and “menace of personal vulnerability.” It’s like they’re starring in a legal thriller.
But let’s not forget, the appeals court had the audacity to argue that the risk of former presidents facing baseless criminal prosecutions is “slight.” Well, we’ll see about that! Trump is not about to let anyone rain on his parade, let alone a bunch of judges.
So, buckle up, folks, because the legal showdown of the century is just getting started. Will Trump come out on top once again? Stay tuned!
