Decision from the US Supreme Court: Trump has immunity in official actions.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump has "some immunity" for his role in the January 6th Capitol riot and allegations of interference in the 2020 Presidential elections.

"IMMUNITY IN OFFICIAL ACTIONS"

The judges of the US Supreme Court considered former President Donald Trump's application that he has "Presidential immunity" against the allegations of his role in the Capitol riot on January 6th and interference in the 2020 Presidential elections. The court, with 6 votes against 3, ruled that the former President has immunity from prosecution for his official actions, but this immunity does not apply to his private conduct.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge John Roberts, stated in the decision, "Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, we conclude that the nature of the Presidency requires a President to have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions taken during his term."

"THE PRESIDENT IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW"

Meanwhile, Roberts, who stated that the President is not above the law, said, "The President does not have immunity for his unofficial actions, and not everything he does is official. The President is not above the law."

DISTRICT COURT WILL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION

Roberts stated that they will send the decision to the lower district federal court, saying, "Accordingly, we remand the case to the District Court to determine in the first instance whether Trump's conduct in this area should be characterized as official or unofficial." This decision by the Supreme Court is expected to further delay the trial date with additional briefings and hearings to determine which of the relevant charges Trump may be exempt from.

Trump, who is facing charges related to his role in the January 6th Capitol riot and allegations of interference in the 2020 Presidential elections, had applied to the Supreme Court for the dismissal of the case, arguing that his actions committed while in office fall under "Presidential immunity."
