4 takeaways from Trump’s loss in his immunity case

Donald Trump suffered a significant setback Tuesday in his quest to escape criminal conviction, with a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruling that he is not immune from charges for his acts as president.

The unanimous decision, from two Democratic-nominated judges and one Republican-nominated one, sets the stage for a potential appeal to the Supreme Court. If Trump ultimately were to succeed, his federal indictment for an allegedly illegal effort to overturn the 2020 election — one of four indictments he faces — would be undercut severely.
