Presidential Immunity Ruling Goes Back to the Courts
A D.C. Circuit Court is set to weigh in on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling after the one-month reconsideration window closed on Friday, according to Politico.
The ruling, which made presidents immune to prosecution while conducting “official acts,” was sent back down to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals where it originated.
The matter was immediately referred to the Obama-appointed judge, Tanya Chutkan. Chutkan, who is presiding over a case against former President Donald Trump and his conduct during the Jan. 6 Capitol Riots, has been in limbo since December when the case was referred to the Supreme Court.
