In a significant legal development, a U.S. appeals court delivered a blow to former President Donald Trump’s legal defense on Friday. The court flatly rejected Trump’s assertion of immunity, paving the way for him to face civil cases related to his involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack by his supporters.

The court asserted that Trump is not shielded from the scrutiny of civil litigation, while adding that former President Donald Trump’s directive to his supporters, urging them to march to the Capitol and impede the certification of his 2020 election defeat, was made “in his personal capacity as a presidential candidate.”

Additionally, another lawsuit filed against Trump was under the 1872 Ku Klux Klan Act which happens to be a law passed post the civil war “to protect federal officials from violence and intimidation by white supremacists”.

This pivotal decision underscores the legal distinction between Trump’s actions as a private individual seeking re-election and his responsibilities as the sitting president. Trump also entered a plea of not guilty in the face of mounting accusations. He claims that prosecutors are attempting to tarnish his political campaign, adding fuel to an already debated legal battle.This case stands as one of four criminal prosecutions that loom over Trump’s political ambitions, creating a formidable challenge as he endeavors to reclaim the White House.

Prosecutors assert that Donald Trump’s defense could potentially elevate the U.S. president above the law, a move that they argue would breach fundamental principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Moreover, Trump is also implicated in Georgia on charges related to an alleged conspiracy to overturn his election loss to President Joe Biden. The legal proceedings in Georgia add another layer of complexity to the ongoing investigations surrounding the 2020 election, placing Trump at the center of a legal battle that spans multiple jurisdictions.

The 45th US president has also come face to face with a civil lawsuit by the Manhattan district attorney over hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. He has also been accused of fraudulence by the New York attorney general for inflating the value of his assets to get better loans and insurance.
