The Supreme Court's recent decision in Trump v. United States has shielded the former president from facing trial before the election, creating ambiguity around presidential immunity to criminal accountability.
The majority opinion acknowledged the possibility of a president facing trial for conduct during office but introduced complexities that make it challenging for the Justice Department to prosecute such cases, raising concerns about lack of accountability.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson highlighted the majority opinion's ambiguity, making it difficult to anticipate when a President would be subject to accountability for criminal acts, potentially granting unchecked power.
