Former President Donald Trump criticized a federal appeals court's rejection of his immunity claim as a "nation-destroying ruling" and urged the court to reverse its decision to prevent further harm to the United States.
The court's decision allows Special Counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump on four felonies related to his alleged attempts to manipulate the 2020 election results. Trump argued that a president must have full immunity for the country's benefit, claiming that without it, future presidents would be hesitant to act due to fear of retribution after leaving office.
He warned of the potential use of immunity as a political weapon, leading to corrupted elections.
