What you need to know
- Today’s major ruling: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took as president in a decision that will likely further delay a trial on the federal election subversion charges against him. The decision was 6-3, with the liberals in dissent.
- What this means: The ruling rejects a decision from a federal appeals court in February that found Trump enjoyed no immunity for alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to reverse the 2020 election results. Today’s decision says presidents have immunity for official acts but not all acts are official, and lower courts must decide which acts qualify for each. Trump called the decision a “big win.”
- Trump’s looming legal battles: The former president is juggling four criminal cases while battling President Joe Biden to reclaim the White House. He faces a sentencing hearing next week in his hush-money case after being found guilty.
