Supreme Court determines Trump has immunity for some of his acts as president

The ruling is a win for Trump (Credit: AFP)

The Supreme Court gave former president Donald Trump a legal win on Monday after ruling that he has immunity for some of his acts while in office. The 6-3 decision, in the context of the election interference case, rejected Trump's broad claim of immunity but said some actions closely related to his core duties are off-limits to prosecutors.

This means the charges pressed by special prosecutor Jack Smith won't be dismissed, but Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said further proceedings are needed in lower courts to determine what Trump can be prosecuted for.
