"Looking forward to the very important arguments on Presidential Immunity in front of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals," Trump wrote Friday. But it could impact the timing of the trial, which isset to begin March 4in Washington, D.C., depending on how quickly proceedings in the ...
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan had found that Trump was not a government employee, and that even if he were, he exceeded the scope of his employment when talking about Carroll. Asking the D.C. Court of Appeals to address the second issue, Circuit Judge G...
If the DC Circuit decides to uphold the law and the Supreme Court declines to take it up or upholds that ruling, what Trump can do is somewhat limited. He could grant an extension of up to 90 days for ByteDance to complete its divestiture of TikTok, but under the law, he would need ...
Last week, the Court declined to simply uphold a watertight ruling by the DC circuit appellate court denying Mr Trump’s novel claims of absolute presidential immunity from prosecution, including after leaving office.

The 4th Circuit ruling was issued by Judges Albert Diaz, Toby Heytens, and Stephanie Thacker. All are Democratic appointees. Oct 2024 New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks that Trump’s visit to Madison Square Garden this afternoon is a sign that the former president...
However, a lawyer for ten Democratic House members suing Trump said the high court’s decision and a 2023 ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals make clear that, to shut down the lawsuits, Trump has to establish that he was acting in his official capacity as president. That includ...
