Eric Trump uses father's immunity appeal to beg for campaign cash

Eric Trump sent out a fundraising appeal as his father's attorneys tried to persuade an appeals court to make him immune from prosecution.

The former president's son begged supporters for campaign cash as attorney Dean John Sauer told an apparently skeptical three-judge panel that Trump cannot be prosecuted for attempting to subvert the 2020 election because he had not been impeached and convicted in the Senate.

"Today, my father is fighting on appeal for his presidential immunity while Crooked Joe’s Department of 'Justice' is attempting to unlawfully STRIP it from him as a completely innocent man in the D.C. Witch Hunt," the younger Trump said in the email. "But you know my father… He never gives up. He never quits."

"He’s a fighter by nature, and I’ve only ever known him to keep pushing forward," he added. "That’s just who he is."

The younger Trump told followers that his father was willing to "sacrifice everything" to save the country from Biden and "the Left’s tyranny," and he asked supporters to donate sums ranging from $24 to $3,300 while promising to add their names to a "very special list" he would share with his father later that night.
