The U.S. Supreme Court has granted former President Donald Trump partial immunity in ongoing criminal cases, with a majority of six justices in favor and three opposed.
The Court emphasized that while Trump enjoys immunity for his constitutional duties as a former president, actions stemming from his private capacity do not warrant the same protection. This ruling follows the remanding of Trump’s immunity case to a lower court.
Trump hailed the decision as a triumph for democracy, highlighting its significance in legal battles ahead. Conversely, a spokesperson from the Biden campaign criticized Trump’s stance, accusing him of seeing himself as above the law amidst allegations of election interference.
With Trump’s immunity now established, legal proceedings related to the Capitol Hill attack allegations could encounter further delays. This development marks a critical juncture in the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding the former president.
