SCOTUS Creates Trump Prosecution Chaos: ‘Partial Immunity’
The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision on Monday that President Donald Trump enjoys at least some immunity from criminal prosecution. And while the conservative justices did not agree with the former president’s broader definition of immunity, they still largely left him off the hook.
In a post on Truth Social, the former president called the decision a “BIG WIN.”
“Trump asserts a far broader immunity than the limited one the Court recognizes, contending that the indictment must be dismissed because the Impeachment Judgment Clause requires that impeachment and Senate conviction precede a President’s criminal prosecution,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his opinion.
