SUMMARY: President Biden criticized the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling granting former President Trump and other presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office. Biden argued that the decision dangerously removes legal constraints on presidential power. The Court's ruling provides no immunity for unofficial acts, but Federal prosecutors now must distinguish between official and unofficial conduct. Trump, who faces prosecution for attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the January 6th insurrection, called the decision a victory for democracy. The Court's liberal justices dissented, warning it creates a law-free zone around the president, potentially impacting other ongoing cases against Trump.

Biden condemned the ruling, stating that the Supreme Court's decision on immunity means “there are virtually no limits” on a president's actions.

SUMMARY: On the final day of its term, the Supreme Court issued a significant ruling affecting Donald Trump and possibly all former and future presidents regarding prosecution for actions taken while in office. In a 6-3 decision, the Court granted former presidents broad protections for their official acts, complicating Special Counsel Jack Smith's election interference case against Trump. Chief Justice John Roberts stated that a president might not be prosecuted for exercising core constitutional powers, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, arguing it undermines the principle that no one is above the law. The decision has spurred significant backlash from Democrats.

The Supreme Court ruled on presidential immunity, and the decision came down to ideological lines. For now, Former President Donald Trump's election interference case remains on hold.
