The Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump and future presidents have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. The 6-3 decision rejected total immunity but protects certain presidential actions. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, "The President is not above the law." The ruling stems from Trump’s appeal in his federal election interference case. It now returns to a lower court to decide what counts as official or unofficial acts. This likely delays Trump's trial until after the 2024 election. Trump celebrated on Truth Social, calling it a "big win for our Constitution and democracy."
