A federal appeals court ruled unanimously this Tuesday that Donald Trump does not have immunity. Trump will undoubtedly appeal this decision.

He has already indicated that he plans to ask the full US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit and the US Supreme Court to review the ruling. The Justice Department has long maintained that a current president cannot be prosecuted. But Trump raised the novel claim that former presidents can't either, at least for actions related to their official duties, unless they are first impeached and convicted by Congress.
