Supreme Court Says Donald Trump Has Some Immunity From Prosecution In January 6th Election Conspiracy Case

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump had immunity from prosecution for his official acts, dealing a blow to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election conspiracy case against the former president.

“Presidents cannot be indicted based on conduct for which they are immune from prosecution. On remand, the District Court must carefully analyze the indictment’s remaining allegations to determine

whether they too involve conduct for which a President must be immune from prosecution,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “And the parties and the District Court must ensure that sufficient allegations support the indictment’s charges without such conduct. Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.”

More to come.
