Trump's Terms

Supreme Court: Trump immune from prosecution for 'core' acts as president


Listen Later

For this episode of Trump's Trials, All Things Considered host Ailsa Chang speaks with University of Baltimore law professor Kim Wahle and later, NPR senior editor and political correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

In a 6-to-3 decision, along ideological lines, the Court ruled that presidents have absolute immunity for their core constitutional powers, and are entitled to a presumption of immunity for other official acts. But they also ruled that presidents do not have immunity for unofficial acts. The decision will affect the federal election interference case and the Georgia election interference case.

Topics include:
- Supreme Court immunity decision
- Federal election interference case
- Georgia election interference case
