Supreme Court Grants Trump Immunity from Prosecution

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark 6-3 ruling granting former Presidents, like Donald Trump, considerable immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, which could delay or prevent Trump's trial in the January 6 election subversion case. This decision, led by the conservative justices, shields Trump's communications with the Justice Department officials and sets a high bar for prosecutors to prove any wrongdoing in official acts. While Trump's immunity does not extend to non-official actions, the ruling could impact the case against him for election interference, including pressuring Vice President Mike Pence and comments on the Capitol attack. The decision has significant implications for Trump's legal battles and potential future political endeavors, prompting concerns about the balance between presidential immunity and accountability.
