The Supreme Court ruled in a 6 to 3 decision that Trump is entitled to substantial immunity from prosecution, expanding presidential power. The trial on charges of plotting to subvert the 2020 election is unlikely before November. Chief Justice John Roberts stated that Trump and all presidents have core constitutional immunity and presumptive immunity for official acts.
The dissent from the liberal justices, including Justice Sonia Sotomayor, criticized the decision, stating that the president is now perceived as a king above the law. The ruling is considered one of the most significant in the history of the court.
