Trump: Immunity Ruling Shields Obama From Prosecution

Former President Donald Trump stated that the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity for official acts likely shields Barack Obama from prosecution related to new allegations that his administration fabricated intelligence about Russian election interference and orchestrated a 'years-long coup' against Trump. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a report and referred members of Obama's cabinet for criminal prosecution, though Obama has denied any wrongdoing. Legal experts argue that the Supreme Court's 2024 decision, based on arguments from Trump's own legal team, makes it unlikely that any former president could be prosecuted for actions taken while in office. Critics point out a lack of solid evidence against Obama and note that bipartisan investigations have consistently confirmed Russian interference. Trump acknowledged the irony that the immunity ruling he sought now protects Obama, stating, 'Obama owes me big.' The situation continues to unfold amid ongoing political debate.
