single sentence that favors or even slightly sympathizes with donald trump s argument for presidential immunity. instead, the d.c. appeals court stands up trump s defenses only to knock them down one by one. the judges reached back through history citing case law from the early 1800s along with founders themselves on how they envisioned the power and limitations of the presidency. the court concludes quote, for the purposes of h criminal case, former president trump has become citizen trump with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. on trump s argument that the separation of powers doctrine bars judicial review of executive actions, the court cited presidents nixon and truman, both of whom were found to have exceeded their authority by the supreme court. nixon on trying to shield his tapes and truman on trying to seize steel mills. they also cited an 1882 supreme court ruling that said officers of the government can be sued pulling directly from the decision, q
