Law & Crime Attorneys for President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance in the Southern District of New York on Thursday morning. The basis of Trump’s legal argument is that he’s completely immune to criminal investigation.
The 20-page filing offers an array of citations–including a law review article written by then-judge Brett Kavanaugh in 2009–to put forward the notion that a sitting president simply cannot be arrested, investigated, imprisoned or detained while in office.
“Nor can he be investigated, indicted, or otherwise subjected to the criminal process,” the complaint reads.
