Trump will again try to stretch powers surrounding the presidency to save himself in a high-stakes court gambit
Donald Trump will again try to stretch powers to
save himself on Tuesday in a high-stakes court gambit
that, if it succeeds, would place him and anyone else
elected president above the law
Given the 45th president’s oft-stated belief that he had
near omnipotent powers when he was in office – and
that he still might be entitled to them – the history-making
spectacle about to unfold is not that surprising.
The front-runner for the GOP nomination says he will be
in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
to watch his lawyers argue that he has “absolute immunity”
from prosecution in his federal 2020 election interference case.
