6-3: The court holds that a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers….

The Supreme Court has extended the delay in the criminal case against Donald Trump, making it unlikely that he will be tried before the November election.

In a 6-3 decision, the justices ruled that former presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts, but not for unofficial acts.

The Supreme Court has ordered lower courts to determine how to apply this decision to Trump’s case, leading to further delays.

The former president has denied any wrongdoing and claims the prosecution is politically motivated to prevent his return to the White House.
