President-elect Donald Trump wants a lawsuit against him by the co-founders of his social-media platform put on hold so that a Delaware judge can decide whether presidential immunity covers the case.

Lawyers for Trump and two board members of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., FBI chief nominee Kash Patel and ex-Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, argued that "temporary presidential immunity" applies to all of them. The ex-president is the largest shareholder of the company, which oversees the Truth Social platform.
