> Trump's motion takes that to the extreme by claiming that anything he does is protected by presidential immunity.
> The case came from the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals, where Trump's lawyers were asked whether their argument was that the president could go so far as to order Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival. Trump's lawyers agreed.
