Supreme Court Appears Open to Some of Donald Trump's Immunity Claims.

The Supreme Court is considering whether former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted for alleged crimes committed while in office, specifically charges that he conspired to steal the 2020 presidential election. The court's conservative majority expressed concern that prosecuting ex-presidents could deter bold action by future presidents, while liberal justices argued that holding the president above the law would undermine democracy. Trump's lawyer argued for "absolute immunity," but most justices agreed that former presidents should have strong protection from prosecution. The court's decision, expected by the end of June, could delay or end Trump's trial and impact other prosecutions he is facing. [Extracted from the article]
