Pennsylvania judge ruled that former President Trump is immune from a lawsuit filed by an election worker over Trump’s false claims of election fraud while in office. The judge said Trump’s comments sowing doubt about the 2020 election results were made while he was president and therefore covered by presidential immunity. However, the lawsuit also cites a letter Trump wrote after leaving office which is not covered by immunity. While the judge dismissed the claims regarding Trump’s statements made while president, other legal proceedings may still examine the appropriateness of those statements.
Not surprising, actually. Courts don’t seem to want to resolve the question of “Presidential immunity”, even though it is not explicitly written into the Constitution (where other functions are). So now it has become “tradition”, until, that is, a judge grows a pair and works to clarify the situation.
