New Legal Shield for Trump: Supreme Court Grants Immunity for Official Acts, Potentially Halting Election-Related Trials

The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to grant judicial immunity in the case of the invasion of the Capitol could have positive implications for other cases against Donald Trump. In a ruling, the Court stated that former presidents can claim immunity for official acts carried out during their time in office. However, there is no immunity for unofficial acts.

The decision made by the Court was reached by a 6-3 vote and could impact ongoing cases against Trump in the American justice system. The distinction between Trump’s public and private actions could have ramifications for various legal cases against him. While actions taken while he was president are immune, those taken in the private sphere may still be subject to legal action.

This decision is seen as a victory for Donald Trump as it could prevent further trials before the upcoming elections and potentially impact any convictions related to the 2020 election results. Experts like Roberto Uebel and Ricardo Caichiolo believe that this decision could affect the outcome of Trump’s legal cases against him, suggesting that his defense lawyers may use it to delay or annul legal proceedings.

Despite some controversies, Trump’s camp is framing this decision as a total victory in the American justice system. Uebel suggests that this decision, combined with Trump’s recent debate performance, has bolstered his position and could be used as a strategic advantage in his electoral campaign. This new legal scenario created by the Supreme Court’s decision is expected to strengthen Trump’s narrative of innocence in the face of multiple accusations, which will certainly have implications on how he approaches his upcoming election campaign.
