The verdict of the US Supreme Court was issued for Trump

The Supreme Court of the United States announced on Monday local time in a ruling that the former presidents of this country are immune from prosecution for some actions taken during their time in office.

The US Supreme Court declared with 6 votes against 3 votes that while former presidents can take actions within the framework of their legal authority and have immunity, they do not have immunity for private actions.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said: “We conclude that, under the constitution, the nature of the power of the presidency requires that a former president be immune from criminal prosecution for official actions while in office. »

Judge Roberts added: “At least with regard to the main presidential powers in the Constitution, this immunity should be absolute.”

After the US Supreme Court ruling, Trump called it a “great victory” for democracy. This ruling postpones the decision to prosecute Trump for conspiracy to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
