The Justice Department urged a judge Thursday to reject Donald Trump's bid to dismiss the federal election interference case against him, arguing for the bedrock principle that "no one is above the law."
"He is subject to the federal criminal laws like more than 330 million other Americans, including Members of Congress, federal judges, and everyday citizens," wrote assistant special counsel James Pearce.
Earlier this month, Trump's legal team moved to dismiss four felony charges against him in Washington, D.C., on the ground that he should enjoy presidential "immunity." The Supreme Court has not ruled on such a claim of absolute immunity from a current or former president.

Silly man. Only Democrats are above the law in the United States.

Please stop with the generalizations. Yes, we have some crooks in the Democrat party. But the majority, just like the majority of the GOP, are not. We must stop labeling those with an opposing political view as such, just because of their politics.
