Federal Court Just Redrew the Limits

The blow landed before dawn. In the dead of night, Donald Trump’s legal team made a last-ditch move to freeze his federal election interference case. Hours later, a powerful answer came back: no. What followed was a stunning declaration from a top court, calling his post-2020 actions “unprecedented,” and hinting at conseque…

In a terse but devastating order, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump’s emergency bid to halt the criminal case probing his efforts to cling to power after losing the 2020 election.

And for the country, it signals that the judiciary is willing, at least for now, to confront the legacy of January 6 head-on.
