Donald Trump does not have immunity from charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeat, a federal court has ruled.
The US Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s claim that he cannot be prosecuted because the allegations relate to his official responsibilities as President.
The move brings the former president a step closer to an unprecedented criminal trial.
Trump claimed in the landmark legal case that he was immune from criminal charges for acts which fell within his duties as president.
The ruling rebuffs 77-year-old’s attempt to avoid a trial on charges that he undermined American democracy and the transfer of power.
Last year, he filed a motion to drop the federal indictment brought by the special counsel Jack Smith, which charged the former president over his efforts to revoke the 2020 election.
This included claims he advanced fake slates of electors and obstructed Congress on 6 January 2021.
