“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results,” the panel of three judges wrote. “Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count.”

The panel declares that even if a sitting president is temporarily immune from prosecution — something the Justice Department has asserted but the Supreme Court has never stated — a former president no longer has that protection.
