Donald Trump wants to stop a lawsuit against his Truth Social company by arguing that, while he's president, he should be immune from any civil suit filed in state court.

Summary

Donald Trump is seeking “temporary presidential immunity” to delay or dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in Delaware by co-founders of Trump Media & Technology Group, who accuse him of blocking their full stake in the company.

Trump argues that defending lawsuits during his presidency would distract from his official duties, citing the burden of managing numerous pending cases.

His legal team claims state court lawsuits undermine the presidency.

This effort follows broader Supreme Court rulings expanding presidential immunity, though critics cite concerns over accountability.
