"When a first-term president opts to seek a second term, his campaign to win reelection is not an official presidential act," it said.

"When a sitting president running for a second term... speaks at a campaign rally funded and organized by his reelection campaign committee, he is not carrying out the official duties of the presidency. He is acting as office-seeker, not office-holder."

Trump "recognized that he engaged in his campaign to win reelection -- including his post-election efforts to alter the declared results in his favor -- in his personal capacity as presidential candidate, not in his official capacity as sitting president," it said.
