Summary

Donald Trump is seeking “temporary presidential immunity” to delay or dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Delaware by co-founders of Trump Media & Technology Group, who accuse him of blocking their full stake in the company.

Trump argues that defending lawsuits during his presidency would distract from his official duties, citing the burden of managing numerous pending cases.

His legal team claims state court lawsuits undermine the presidency.

This effort follows broader Supreme Court rulings expanding presidential immunity, though critics cite concerns over accountability.

    Ahh so it was like a free-spirited manifesto letter they wrote for posterity? Shame that it’s not a law or otherwise legally binding document.

      I mean, it was a declaration that the colonies were going independent. You don’t right laws in a what amounts to a strongly worded letter.

      The constitution is the legal document that setup the laws of the United States.

        It also has something about militias and the security of a free state.

          Yes, that’s part of the laws the constitution set up

            Seems like it ain’t much of a free state anymore
