US: Trump in court hearing immunity
Donald Trump arrived at the federal Court of Appeals in Washington today to request criminal immunity as a former president. He is seeking to delay various criminal trials against him for as long as possible and, in any case, after the elections. Trump's lawyers confirm that he will request "full immunity" for his actions while in the White House. He will argue that he cannot be prosecuted for his attempts to overturn the election results due to his acquittal during the impeachment process. The hearing is taking place during the ongoing election campaign, less than a week before the Republican Party's primaries in Iowa. If the case proceeds, Trump has warned that he will pursue charges against Joe Biden if he is re-elected.
