Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

A federal grand jury indicted former President Donald J. Trump on four counts for conduct that occurred during his presidency following the November 2020 election. The indictment alleged that after losing that election, Trump conspired to overturn it by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the collecting, counting, and certifying of the election results.

Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on presidential immunity, arguing that a president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed within his official responsibilities, and that the indictment's allegations fell within the core of his official duties.

The District Court denied Trump's motion to dismiss, holding that former presidents do not possess federal criminal immunity for any acts. The D.C. Circuit affirmed. Both the District Court and the D.C. Circuit declined to decide whether the indicted conduct involved official acts.
