Former president Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon pressed his case before the U.S. Supreme Court for immunity from criminal prosecution over the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“From 1789 to 2023, no former, or current, President faced criminal charges for his official acts— for good reason,” the former president’s 67-page brief begins. “The President cannot function, and the Presidency itself cannot retain its vital independence, if the President faces criminal prosecution for official acts once he leaves office.”

In late February, the 45th president convinced at least five justices to take up his case – appealing an order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia finding Trump does not have presidential immunity from prosecution on charges alleging he criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
