Former President Trump made his pitch to the Supreme Court to toss his election interference case, asking it to reverse lower court decisions that found he has no presidential immunity shielding him from prosecution.
Trump has been turned down by two courts as he’s argued his efforts to stay in power leading up to Jan. 6 were all done within the scope of his role as president, something he argues affords him immunity from the resulting criminal charges.
