Trump says he'll attend immunity hearing Tuesday in his Jan. 6 case

Former President Trump is planning to appear at a D.C. hearing in his election interference case Tuesday, two days before he's expected to attend his civil fraud trial.

Former President Donald Trump says he'll be in court Tuesday when the Washington, D.C., Court of Appeals hears arguments over his efforts to dismiss his federal election interference case based on his claim of presidential immunity.

It could mark the first of two court appearances Trump makes this week, as he's also expected to attend closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in New York on Thursday.

Trump is seeking the dismissal of the federal election interference case on the grounds that he has "absolute immunity" from prosecution for actions taken while serving in the nation's highest office.

The former president confirmed his plans to attend Tuesday's hearing in a social media post early Monday morning.
