President Joe Biden is delivering remarks following a Supreme Court ruling granting former President Donald Trump some form of immunity from federal prosecution over his actions after the 2020 election.
In a 6-3 ruling on Monday, the Supreme Court found that presidents are granted “absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority” and “presumptive immunity” for all official acts. However, it held there is no immunity for “unofficial” acts.

The ruling was a major victory for Trump, as it drastically undercuts special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 Capitol riot case against the former president.
Democrats almost unanimously denounced the decision, with Biden expected to join the choir.
