So, no blanket immunity for Ex-Presidents--how very unfortunate for Trump. No one is above the law.
The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's election subversion case in Washington, D.C., ruled on Friday that Trump does not have immunity from criminal charges regarding his activities as president, rejecting his bid to have the case dismissed.
"Whatever immunities a sitting president may enjoy, the United States has only one chief executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong 'get-out-of-jail-free' pass," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in her ruling.
