Donald Trump is set to return for the first time in months to the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. An appeals court is hearing arguments on whether the Republican former president is immune from prosecution on charges he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

The outcome of Tuesday's arguments carries enormous ramifications for the landmark criminal case against Trump and for the broader and legally untested question of whether an ex-president can be prosecuted for acts committed in the White House. It'll also likely set the stage for further appeals before the Supreme Court, which recently declined a request to weigh in but could get involved later. (AP)
