A federal judge has dismissed ex-President Donald Trump's bid to throw out charges of election interference on the basis of "presidential immunity".

Mr Trump is facing four criminal counts - including conspiracy to defraud the US - related to his alleged efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

Judge Tanya Chutkan found no legal basis for concluding presidents cannot face criminal charges once they are no longer in office.

Mr Trump is accused of unlawfully trying to overturn his election defeat.

"Whatever immunities a sitting president may enjoy, the United States has only one chief executive at a time," Judge Chutkan wrote late on Friday.

"That position does not confer a lifelong 'get-out-of-jail-free' pass."

She added that Mr Trump's presidency "did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens".
