Justice Amy Coney Barrett broke with the Supreme Court on its ruling in the case of former President Donald Trump's immunity claims.The court finally ruled on presidential immunity Monday, issuing a 6-3 decision that agreed former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts but not for unofficial acts. The decision came more than nine weeks after the case was argued before the justices and was the final ruling this term.
Trump is also facing criminal charges in a federal classified documents case and a separate election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia. Last month, a Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 felony counts in his hush money payment case in New York.The fight over Trump's 'absolute immunity' claim has stalled the trial in the federal election interference case, which was scheduled to begin March 4.
