After former President Trump was charged with attempting to incite supporters to overturn the election results, the US Supreme Court ruled that Trump, during his term in office, can enjoy criminal immunity for his official acts. The decision, passed by a 6-3 vote, states that a president's actions in fulfilling constitutional duties cannot be classified as crimes, granting Trump immunity from prosecution during his presidency. However, actions outside official duties will not be protected, leaving it to lower courts to clarify. The ruling marks a significant blow to the prosecutor, who may need to adjust charges following the decision. Trump celebrated the ruling as a 'huge win' for US democracy and the Constitution.
