The Supreme Court has ruled that presidents enjoy partial immunity. There will be no trial for attempted electoral fraud before the election. Donald Trump’s delaying tactics are working.
Donald Trump has achieved his important goal: There will most likely not be another trial against him before the presidential election in November. Special investigator Jack Smith wanted to indict Trump for possible crimes related to the last presidential election. But that will not happen.
The Supreme Court’s decision confirms that US presidents enjoy partial immunity. They cannot be prosecuted for actions in office. A lower court must now clarify what Trump’s private and official actions were. This is likely to take months. The Supreme Court is thus putting itself at the service of the ex-president and delaying a trial that would affect the soul of the country.
