Former President Trump Did Not Testify While Back in Court | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Former President Donald Trump is back in Washington DC court today, involving his actions after the 2020 election. The case came before a 3 judge federal appeals court panel centering on accusations that he was part of an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. The former president was inside the courtroom but did not testify. The federal appeals court judges expressed deep skepticism that the former president was immune from prosecution on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The panel also questioned whether they had jurisdiction to consider the appeal at this point in the case, raising the prospect that Trump's effort could be dismissed. Under heightened security the SUV carrying the former president entered the federal court house through an underground garage. Inside during lengthy arguments, the judges repeatedly pressed Trump's lawyer to defend claims that he was shielded from criminal charges for acts that he says fell within his official duties as president. After the hearing, the former president claimed he should have immunity.
