Washington — A three-judge panel in Washington, D.C., is set to consider Tuesday former President Donald Trump's claim that he is shielded from federal criminal prosecution.
Oral arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will focus on Trump's legal theory that the charges — namely that he engaged in an alleged scheme to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election — should be dismissed because the alleged conduct occurred when he was president.
