Former President Donald Trump celebrated the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling about whether he has presidential immunity in the Department of Justice (DOJ) election interference case.
The court on Monday ruled that former presidents have absolute immunity for official acts but no immunity at all for private acts. The court sent the case back to a lower court in Washington, D.C. to figure out how to determine what constitutes an official act.
While Trump may still face trial for some charges in the case that are not deemed official, conservatives are viewing the ruling as a victory, as it makes it less likely the case will go to trial before the November election. Legal analysts have said Trump could dismiss the charges in the case if he wins in November.
Trump responded to the ruling in a post to Truth Social.
“BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” he wrote.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
