In Smith’s election interference case, Trump entered a not guilty plea to all charges. The 2024 GOP front-runner is expected to appear in person on Tuesday at an appeals court hearing in Washington, D.C., where the case will be discussed in relation to the extent of his presidential immunity.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social account, “I will be attending the Federal Appeals Court Arguments on Presidential Immunity in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.”
“Of course I was entitled, as President of the United States and Commander in Chief, to Immunity,” Trump stated. “I had already finished the election, so I wasn’t campaigning.
In addition to governing our country, I was searching for and exposing voter fraud, as is my duty.”

Biden was charged by Trump with “weaponizing the DOJ.”
