MADRID, 9 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former president of the United States Donald Trump defended his right to presidential immunity this Tuesday after going to an appeals court in Washington which will have to decide whether the magnate had protection in the framework of the federal case against him for trying to revoke the result of the 2020 elections.
The appeals court of the city of Washington held a hearing this Tuesday in which each of the parties presented their arguments after the Supreme Court refused to rule on the matter following a request from special prosecutor Jack Smith.
“I think we did quite well. I think it is very unfair when an opponent, a political opponent, is prosecuted by Biden’s Department of Justice. They are losing in all the polls,” he stated after leaving court, as reported. the CNN network.
The magnate has highlighted that the case against him “opens Pandora’s box” and is a “threat to democracy.” “I didn’t do anything wrong,” he stressed, insisting that it is not possible “to have a president without his immunity.” Likewise, he has once again recalled the “electoral fraud” of the 2020 elections.
Federal judge Tanya Chutkan, who is investigating the case against Trump for trying to overturn the result of the 2020 elections, in which Joe Biden won, decided to temporarily paralyze the judicial process precisely due to this legal challenge.
The former president faces four charges of conspiring against the United States; for preventing Congress from certifying the results collected at the polls; for conspiring against the right to vote, as well as for his attempt to obstruct the certification of the minutes.
