"My name is Eric Tucker, and I cover the FBI and Justice Department for the Associated Press. A federal appeals court in Washington has ruled that former President Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution. And special counsel Jack Smith's case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 election before the January 6th riot at the Capitol. His lawyers had argued that he was shielded from prosecution for actions that he took as president. But the Justice Department said that there was no precedent for that argument and no basis for immunity found in either the Constitution or in prior cases."

"In light of this opinion, we are expecting additional appeals from the Trump team, including up to potentially the U.S. Supreme Court, that could delay the scheduling of any trial by weeks, if not months. Both sides are keeping a close eye on the political calendar. Trump is, of course, the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race, and he and his lawyers are trying hard to postpone each of his cases as far back as possible, including until after the election, if possible. Jack Smith's team, by contrast, is trying to get this case resolved this year and is looking to try to get it scheduled. It had initially been on the calendar for March, but that date no longer holds. So now everyone is waiting to see when that trial will now be scheduled for."

STORYLINE:
A federal appeals panel has ruled that Donald Trump can face trial on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, rejecting the former president’s claims that he is immune from prosecution.

The decision marks the second time in as many months that judges have spurned Trump’s immunity arguments and held that he can be prosecuted for actions undertaken while in the White House and in the run-up to Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. But it also sets the stage for additional appeals from the Republican ex-president that could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The trial was originally set for March, but is already expected to be delayed weeks or months.
