Lastly, head coach Mike McCarthy faces uncertainty in his final contract year, needing a deep playoff run to secure an extension.

SUMMARY: President Biden condemned a US Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents, including Trump, broad immunity for official acts while in office. This decision could significantly impact federal prosecutors in Trump's election interference case by requiring them to differentiate between official and unofficial conduct. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling suggests that presidents have almost unrestricted power for official acts, with Biden warning that it sets a dangerous precedent. Trump hailed the decision as a victory for democracy. The ruling may also affect Trump's other criminal cases, such as those concerning classified documents and election subversion. Trump's attorneys plan to challenge his hush money conviction based on this new immunity ruling.

President Joe Biden condemned the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that granted former President Donald Trump and other presidents certain immunity for official acts while in office. Meanwhile, Trump called the decision a “big win for our constitution and democracy.”
