Mr. Trump's remarks on his social media platform, Truth Social, were the latest signal that he seems to view the presidency as an office unbounded by the normal checks of the criminal justice system.
In his post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said that presidents must have full immunity to avoid indictments being filed against them by the opposing party. The protections of immunity, he added, should extend even to events that cross the line.'
Last week, a three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in Washington expressed deep skepticism about Mr. Trump's immunity arguments, suggesting it was unlikely to rule in his favor on a central element of his defense in the case.
