Supreme Court Rules On Trump Presidential Immunity: Live Updates
The Supreme Court released final opinions for the term Monday. Among them was a highly anticipated ruling regarding President Donald Trump’s immunity from prosecution over his involvement with the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
In a 6-3 decision, the court said the president has “absolute immunity” from prosecution for official acts as president. They sent the case back to a lower court to determine what constitutes an official act, making it unlikely the case goes to trial ahead of the presidential election in November.
The court has weighed in on abortion, guns, homelessness and the environment in a final flurry of opinions over the past week.
