In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has determined that former presidents are generally presumed to have criminal immunity for actions taken while in office. This ruling is a significant victory for former President Trump.
Trump’s appeal has temporarily halted the federal election subversion indictment against him in the nation’s capital. The federal court had charged him with conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes just four months before Election Day, when Trump aims to regain the presidency. If successful, he could potentially halt his prosecutions and dismiss special counsel Jack Smith.
