Trump last week lost a bid to have the case thrown out on "presidential immunity" grounds.
Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote, “The Constitution’s text, structure, and history do not support that contention. No court — or any other branch of government — has ever accepted it. And this court will not so hold." She went on to write:
"Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy, the United States has only one Chief Executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass.”
