Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have asked for a pause while they challenge the ruling that he is not immune from prosecution in an effort to delay the federal trial relating to charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s lawyers filed a notice of appeal Thursday, indicating that they will challenge U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan\u2019s decision rejecting Trump\u2019s bid to derail the case headed to trial in Washington, D.C., in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The one-page filing was accompanied by a request from the Trump team to put the case on pause so the appeals court can take up the matter.<\/p>\n
\u2018The filing of President Trump\u2019s notice of appeal has deprived this Court of jurisdiction over this case in its entirety pending resolution of the appeal,\u2019 Trump\u2019s lawyers wrote. \u2018Therefore, a stay of all further proceedings is mandatory and automatic.\u2019<\/p>\n
The case charges Trump with conspiring to overturn the will of voters in a desperate move to cling to power after he lost the 2020 presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden. It is the first of four criminal cases Trump is facing that are scheduled to go to trial, though it is possible the appeal of the immunity issue could delay the case.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s legal team is working to get the trial postponed until after the 2024 election is decided, or until after the Republican Party holds its nominating convention in July.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s lawyers have stated that he cannot face criminal charges because the actions spelled out in the indictment fell within his duties as president.<\/p>\n
Trump and his family have denied any wrongdoing and have claimed that the former president has repeatedly said his assets were actually undervalued.<\/p>\n\n
