Donald Trump,US Supreme Court

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump enjoys immunity from prosecution for official acts taken as president, but he can be prosecuted for his private conduct.

In a landmark ruling that was split along partisan lines, the justices for the first time recognised any form of presidential immunity from prosecution. However, they left it to a lower court to decide which of the alleged crimes Trump has been indicted for were "official" and "non-official".
