Pennsylvania state judge ruled that President Donald Trump is protected by presidential immunity for the statements he made creating doubt about the 2020 election results while in office.
Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Erdos ruled Monday that 2020 election worker James Savage is unable to sue Trump over the claims, according to The Hill.
Trump's immunity includes a tweet and other comments he made from the White House while a Pennsylvania state Senate committee met in November 2022, the judge also said.
"Other legal proceedings may examine the propriety of his statements and actions while he was the President and whether, as the plaintiffs in this and other cases contend, it was this conduct which served as the actual threat to our democracy," Erdos wrote in his ruling. "But this case is not the proper place to do so. Here, Trump is entitled to Presidential immunity."

AMEN! However small, we’ll take it!
I don’t recall the Democrats needing approval from a judge to question the outcome of the 2016 election.
Doesn’t the 1a come before presidential immunity?
p
Well duh. Since when would it be criminal for a candidate to challenge the honest administration of an election?
Depends on the date for testing. I think it will be a ‘GET FREE CARD’
Got to clear these conspiracies before election.
“I don’t recall the Democrats needing approval from a judge to question the outcome of the 2016 election.”
That’s (D)ifferent!
Also, truth should be a defense to any claims of libel or slander. However, Courts refuse to allow Trump access to the evidence that proves his statements true.
In addition, President Trump or citizen Trump has a First Amendment right to question the election results in 2020. As did the democrats in 2016. The democrats and the government agencies, however, did not have the right in 2016 to create false evidence that their claims were true. However, they have gotten away with it.
Since we've had corrupt attorney generals.
SDNY will be hearing the appeal on this...
Dems are among the biggest election deniers.
of course they have no relationship or judicial authority in place except for their ability to indict a ham sandwich...
but that is beside the point... the law or justice system is theirs to distort, abuse, corrupt, and convict innocent individuals in any venue... no matter how much the law restricts them from doing so...
after all... NOBODY is above the law except for democrat/communist party members..
I don't remember anyone calling for Gore to be indicted in 2000, when he sought to overturn the election results in Florida.
I don’t remember any exception about free speech except if it’s about elections...
Legal details are almost always more complicated then stories make them out to be...but taking the story at simple face value makes me wonder why on Earth one needs some special immunity from being President to simply express doubt in the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
The USSC ruled...
Election worker James Savage has a bright future in the Swamp
Finally, some sanity in the court system. This will only get a 10 second mention in the media.
Bumping the good news!
What? So everyone else is not allowed to doubt election results? Come and get me, MFers!
