Donald Trump's legal team referred to his time in the White House as his 'first term' in office in a recent court filing.
Donald Trump's legal team twice referred to his time in the White House as his 'first term' as president in a recent court filing in his classified documents case.The former president is facing a total of 40 felony charges over allegations he illegally held on to classified papers after leaving the White House in January 2021 then obstructed efforts to get them returned to the relevant authorities. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all counts and strongly denies any wrongdoing.
This article will be updated if they decide to comment.Trump's legal team is arguing the criminal cases against him should be dismissed on the basis that the president is legally immune from prosecution for any acts carried out whilst in office. In 1981 the Supreme Court ruled the president is immune from civil damages liability for 'official acts' committed in office in Nixon v. Fitzgerald, but it has not ruled on whether this applies to criminal charges.
