Trump descends on DC in court battle over immunity in 2020 election case: Live updates
Former President Trump is returning to federal court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday where a panel of appeals judges will hear a challenge over whether he can be prosecuted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election before he left the White House.
Trump and his legal team are arguing he has absolute immunity because he was acting in his official capacity as president.
A 45-page indictment released in August from special counsel Jack Smith puts Trump at the center of a lawless campaign to block the transfer of power, charging him with defrauding the United States and other crimes. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
The federal election interference case is just one of several criminal cases Trump is facing as he heads into 2024, which hasn’t put much of a dent in his double-digit lead ahead of his GOP primary opponents.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Smoke was seen billowing in a Northwest D.C. neighborhood Sunday afternoon after a row house caught fire, prompting a large presence of first responders.
In a post on the X platform just after 12:40 p.m., the DC Fire and EMS Department said crews were responding to a box alarm at a row house in the 2100 block of 13th Street NW. There, firefighters found smoke coming from the top of three attached row houses.
Crews determined that the flames were coming from the attic of one of the three-story row homes, but that it was at risk of spreading to both adjacent homes. As a result, firefighters upgraded the response to a two-alarm fire, aggressively attacking the flames from the inside.
Officials noted that firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze, which involved the entire attic, and that it only spread to one of the attached row houses.
No injuries were reported; however, officials were working to learn how many people would be displaced.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
