On August 1, 2023, former President Donald J. Trump was charged in a four-count criminal Indictment stemming from his actions challenging the 2020 election results and interfering with the sequence of procedures set forth in the Constitution of the United States providing for the transfer of power from one President to the next.
The former President moved to dismiss the Indictment and a federal district court denied his motion. Former President Trump appealed the lower court's ruling.
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the federal district court's denial of the former President's motion to dismiss the Indictment.
In the words of the Circuit Court of Appeals, for the purpose of this criminal case "former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution."
