'Timing is everything': Here are Trump's options for appealing his immunity ruling

As former President Trump faces a Monday court deadline in his fight for presidential immunity in his Jan. 6 case, here are his options for furthering his appeal.

Days after the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Colorado's effort to disqualify Donald Trump from holding office, the former president faces another crossroads with the high court -- this one involving his effort to use presidential immunity to sidestep his federal election interference trial.

Trump faces a Monday deadline to request that the Supreme Court stay his criminal election interference case after a panel of three Circuit Court judges unanimously denied Trump's argument that a former president should be immune from criminal prosecution.

"We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter," the judges wrote in their decision Tuesday.

Calling the decision "nation-destroying," Trump vowed to appeal the ruling. His first step requires convincing five Supreme Court justices to continue the pause of his criminal case.
