Chief Justice John Roberts played a pivotal role in shaping significant Supreme Court decisions that influenced former President Trump's legal fate concerning the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
In a confidential memo, Roberts sharply criticized a lower court's ruling that would have allowed Trump's trial, advocating for increased presidential protection from prosecution.
The Supreme Court's ruling, which expanded presidential immunity, effectively delayed Trump's trial, potentially pushing it beyond the forthcoming election, raising concerns about political motivations.
Roberts authored majority opinions that permitted Trump on ballots and limited charges against Jan. 6 rioters, prompting criticism regarding the court's role in political matters.
