The U.S. Supreme Court has granted former President Donald Trump broad immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his time in office, sparing him from potential life imprisonment. The 6-3 conservative majority ruling permits Trump to avoid criminal charges related to official acts, though he remains accountable for any unofficial actions. Trump, returning to office in January, may gain opportunities to further shape the court’s conservative leanings if Justices Clarence Thomas, 76, and Samuel Alito, 74, retire. Legal experts have expressed concern that this ruling could enable presidential abuses of power, with liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor strongly dissenting.
