Trump issues a warning, stating that there will be widespread disorder if he loses the case regarding presidential immunity

Former President Donald Trump has warned of potential chaos in the United States if he loses his claim that presidential immunity protects him from 2020 election fraud charges. After appearing in court, he made the statement at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Washington, DC.

Trump accused Democrats of trying to stop him from pursuing the White House using a criminal case. On Tuesday, three US Court of Appeals judges for the DC Circuit expressed scepticism around Trump’s argument that a former president who has not been impeached and convicted by Congress cannot be prosecuted for a crime linked to the office.

Judges express scepticism over Trump’s immunity claim

The three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit expressed scepticism over Trump’s argument that a former president who has not been impeached and convicted by Congress cannot be prosecuted for a crime linked to the office.

Special counsel Jack Smith has charged Trump with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election and committing fraud to try to remain commander-in-chief. Trump has argued that he was carrying out his presidential duties on the day of the January 6 insurrection and weeks before it and, therefore, cannot be criminally charged.

Trump warns of potential chaos.

Former President Donald Trump warned that “bedlam” will be unleashed in the US if he loses his claim that presidential immunity protects him from 2020 election fraud charges. He accused Democrats of trying to stop him from pursuing the White House using a criminal case. “They’re losing in every poll. They’re losing in almost every demographic. And I think they feel this is how they will try and win,” said Trump. “And that’s not how it goes; it will be chaos in the country. It’s a terrible thing, a terrible precedent – as we said, it’s the opening of Pandora’s box; it’s an unfortunate thing that’s happened with this whole situation.”

Trump makes false claims about the election.

Former President Donald Trump called the election “rigged” and made false claims about it. He told reporters that his actions after the 2020 election, including on January 6, were covered by presidential immunity. Trump did not take questions from the press, including if he would discourage his supporters from creating chaos.

Donald Trump’s claim of presidential immunity protecting him from 2020 election fraud charges has been met with scepticism from the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit judges. Trump warned of potential chaos in the US if he loses his claim, accusing Democrats of trying to stop him from pursuing the White House using a criminal case. The ex-president has made false claims about the election and his actions after it, stating that they were covered by presidential immunity.
