Trump has some immunity to supreme court
Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was the first U.S. President to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives. The first impeachment was in 2019, related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The second impeachment was in 2021, following the January 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol. Trump was acquitted by the Senate both times, as neither impeachment resulted in a conviction.
However, it’s important to note that presidential immunity does not apply to federal crimes committed while in office. While a sitting president cannot be prosecuted for federal crimes without a grand jury indictment, this immunity does not extend to state crimes or crimes committed before taking office. Therefore, Trump could still face legal consequences for any actions he took before or after his presidency.
The US Supreme Court has said Donald Trump and other former presidents are partially immune from criminal prosecution, in a major legal victory for the Republican White House candidate.
The 6-3 ruling did not outright dismiss an indictment that charges Trump with plotting to overturn the 2020 election, but it did strip away key elements of the case against him.
The justices found that a president has immunity for "official acts", but is not immune for "unofficial acts", and referred the matter back to a trial judge.
The three liberal justices dissented strongly, expressing “fear for our democracy”.
“The President is now a king above the law,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The decision makes it less likely that the Republican candidate will stand trial in the case before he challenges Democratic President Joe Biden in November's White House election.
It is the first time since the nation's founding that the Supreme Court has declared former presidents can be shielded from criminal charges.
Trump is the first president ever to be criminally prosecuted, as Chief Justice John Roberts noted while delivering Monday's opinion.
