'Null and void': Ex-DOJ prosecutor reveals 'big problem' Trump now has in federal court

The article discusses a significant legal challenge facing former President Donald Trump in his federal court case, as highlighted by former DOJ prosecutor Andrew Weissmann. The crux of the issue revolves around Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency. Weissmann points out that Trump's legal team has argued that he should be immune from prosecution for any actions related to his official duties, a claim that has been met with skepticism by legal experts. The article explains that this argument could potentially be dismissed by the courts, especially since Trump's actions, particularly those related to the January 6 Capitol riot, are seen by many as outside the scope of his official presidential duties. This could render Trump's immunity defense "null and void," exposing him to legal accountability for his actions. The piece also touches on the broader implications of this case for the principle of presidential immunity and the rule of law.
