Supreme Court of the United States

Trump v. United States

July 1, 2024603 U.S. 593

Summary

The Supreme Court held that a former President enjoys absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct within his core constitutional powers and at least presumptive immunity for other official acts, but no immunity for unofficial conduct. The Court vacated the D.C. Circuit’s judgment and remanded for the district court to determine the official or unofficial nature of the remaining allegations and assess any danger of intrusion on executive functions.
