US Supreme Court rules Trump has some immunity from criminal charges

China Daily  

Xinhua | Updated: 2024-07-01 23:01 Former US President Donald Trump leaves the courthouse after a jury found him guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal trial in New York State Supreme Court in New York, New York, the US on 30 May. WASHINGTON - US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has some immunity from criminal charges for trying to reverse the 2020 election results, which makes a trial before election unlikely. Chief Justice John Roberts, speaking for the majority, dismissed Trump's expansive immunity arguments, stating that Trump is only immune for his actions conducted in an "official" capacity as president. Relying on little more than its own "misguided wisdom" about the need for "bold and unhesitating action" by the President, the Court gives former President Trump "all the immunity he asked for and more," they said.
