Supreme Court Grants Trump Partial Immunity in Election Interference Case

Ruling delays trial, raises questions about presidential accountability and future prosecutions

  • The 6-3 decision provides absolute immunity for core presidential functions and presumptive immunity for other official acts.
  • Lower courts must now determine which of Trump's actions are immune, delaying any trial until after the 2024 election.
  • The ruling complicates Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case, potentially excluding key evidence.
  • Dissenting justices warn the decision could create a 'law-free zone' for future presidents.
  • Judge Tanya Chutkan will oversee the fact-specific analysis to classify Trump's actions.
