Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Tells January 6th Panel He Has Diplomatic Immunity as Russian Official
By Andy Borowitz
October 26, 2021
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In his latest bid to prevent the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack from obtaining relevant documents, Donald Trump has claimed diplomatic immunity in his capacity as a representative of the Russian government.
According to Trump’s legal argument, his status as a Russian official during his four years in the White House makes all documents produced during his tenure property of the Russian Federation.
“Any attempt by the U.S. to seize Russian property will be seen as an act of war,”
a letter from Trump’s legal team reads.
While Trump waits to see if his claim of diplomatic immunity succeeds, he is also prepared to argue that, having once hired Rudolph Giuliani as his attorney, he would be justified in pleading insanity.

While certainly a tool of Putin, there's little doubt, that he is criminally insane.
So, that really might be his best defense. Perhaps the attorneys have already discussed
this plea option with him.
