US Supreme Court delays Trump's federal trial again.

A “presumption of immunity” for his official conduct as president has been acknowledged by the highest court. This ruling was hailed by the Republican presidential contender as “a great victory for our democracy and our Constitution.”

The question of Donald Trump’s criminal immunity as a former president was sent back to lower courts by the US Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority, on Monday, July 1. This move further delays his federal trial in Washington and eliminates the chance that it will take place before November’s US presidential election. He is charged with attempting to tamper with the 2020 election results, which Democrat Joe Biden won.

The Court decided that “the president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts” but that he “is entitled to at least a presumption of immunity for his official acts” by a vote of six to three, with the three progressive justices voting against the six conservative justices. The Court also noted that this is the first criminal case in American history involving a former president for actions taken while he was in office.

Donald Trump celebrated the decision, which is connected with time savings, as a “great victory for our democracy and our Constitution, I am proud to be an American!” on his Truth Social network. In response, President Joe Biden said that the Supreme Court’s ruling established “fundamentally a new principle and a dangerous precedent because the power [of the president] will no longer be limited by law” in a nationally televised speech.

According to an adviser to the electoral campaign, the Republican “thinks he is above the law,” as stated earlier by Joe Biden’s campaign team, which estimated that the ruling “does not change the facts (…): Donald Trump cracked after losing the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overturn the results of a free and fair election.”

Attempting to buy time, Donald Trump

The highest court in the United States had already significantly delayed the federal trial of the former Republican president for trying to illegally reverse the results of the 2020 election by deciding on February 28 to take up this issue and scheduling the debates for almost three months later.

Throughout the hearings, the justices exhibited a general lack of confidence in Donald Trump’s assertion of total immunity. Nonetheless, a number of judges emphasized the decision’s long-term effects. Neil Gorsuch said, “We are writing a rule for posterity,” referring to the question’s unique character. Brett Kavanaugh continued, “This case has enormous implications for the future (…) of the country.”

With four different criminal investigations aimed at him, Donald Trump is making every effort to go to trial as soon as possible—if not after the election. On May 30, the courts in New York found him guilty of “aggravated false accounting to conceal a conspiracy to pervert the 2016 election.” On July 11, he will be sentenced. Though politically the least taxing of the four proceedings, this first criminal conviction—unprecedented for a former US president—also runs the possibility of being the only one made prior to the vote.

Donald Trump’s attorneys have succeeded in postponing the other cases until further notice through many petitions. These trials are at the federal level for withholding sensitive papers after he departed the White House and before the courts in the crucial state of Georgia for meddling in the 2020 election.
