US Supreme Court grants partial immunity to former presidents
Ruling does not dismiss indictment against Trump
Key elements of the case against Trump are stripped away
Decision could impact Trump's 2024 campaign
360 summary
The ruling grants former presidents partial immunity from criminal prosecution, which could limit the scope of criminal liability and the rule of law for presidents moving forward.
The ruling also limits the evidence that can be presented in a case, as certain actions fall under the umbrella of presidential immunity, such as communications with the Department of Justice.
The ruling establishes that motive is irrelevant in determining whether an action is official or unofficial conduct, which could create a chilling effect on future prosecutions, even for actions that shock the conscience.
