Trump Seeks Immunity from Prosecution, Claiming Presidents Should Be Shielded from Legal Consequences
• Trump demands "total immunity" from prosecution, even for criminal acts committed as president
• Trump argues a president must have "full immunity" to properly function and make decisions
• Trump's legal team claims a president could only be prosecuted after being impeached and removed
• Trump's immunity bid is an attempt to undermine the DOJ's case against him for Jan 6 and election interference
• Trump previously claimed he was just doing his "duty" as president and is therefore "entitled to immunity"
