US Supreme Court rules Donald Trump entitled to some immunity in January 6 case
The Supreme Court on Monday decided that former US President Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he committed in the final days of his presidency. The decision will probably further postpone a trial on the federal election subversion charges that are already pending against him.
“We conclude that under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of presidential power requires that a former president have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts during his tenure in office,” stated Chief Justice John Roberts. “At least with respect to the president’s exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.”
“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official. The President is not above the law,” Roberts added on his Monday opinion.
