On July 2, 2024, the US Federal Supreme Court ruled in the 'Trump v. USA' case with a 6-3 vote in favor, granting conservative Chief Justice Roberts' opinion that 'the President cannot be above the law, but his official actions are absolutely immune from criminal prosecution; as for the non-official actions of the President, there is no immunity'. Former President Trump faces criminal charges for conspiracy related to the 2021 Capitol riot, and after the Supreme Court's decision, the case will be sent back to clarify which actions are official and which are private. This ruling delays any trial until after the November presidential election. President Biden criticized the ruling, while Trump praised it, and former White House senior advisor Bannon began serving a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress. The case has far-reaching implications on presidential immunity and accountability.
