With Donald Trump present for the first time in months, federal appeals court judges in Washington have expressed deep scepticism that the former United States president was immune from prosecution on charges that he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election.The panel of three judges also questioned on whether they had jurisdiction to consider the appeal at this point in the case, raising the prospect that Trump's effort could be dismissed.During lengthy arguments yesterday (overnight AEDT), the judges repeatedly pressed Trump's lawyer to defend claims Trump was shielded from criminal charges for acts he says fell within his official duties as president.
