Trump election interference case returns to D.C. after immunity ruling

Last month, a six-justice majority delivered Trump a significant victory, ruling that he deserved substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts he took in the White House, including his efforts to get Department of Justice leaders to back his bogus claims of election fraud in 2020.

Chutkan will need to review evidence to determine if other actions by Trump get constitutional protection as official steps of a president or count as personal acts of a candidate. Trump faces four felony charges and has denounced them as election interference.

The Supreme Court decision allows Trump to appeal any determinations about official acts before a jury is seated. If he wins the election, he could dismiss the case or try to pardon himself.

There's no chance Trump will face trial in Washington before the November election. President Biden and Attorney General Garland have distanced themselves from the prosecutions.
