The Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts performed as president. This limits the evidence and scope of the election interference case against him. Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that while the President is not above the law, Congress cannot criminalize the President's actions that are within the bounds of his constitutional duties. Consequently, the President has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions related to his constitutional responsibilities. Trump celebrated the ruling, calling it a "BIG WIN" for the Constitution and democracy. Prosecutors now have a higher legal standard to overcome Trump's immunity claims.
