The US President considered that the Supreme Court’s decision on Donald Trump sets “a dangerous precedent” by determining that any head of state “can feel free to ignore the law” without facing consequences.
“Now, the American people must do what the Supreme Court should have done. The American people must make a judgment about Donald Trump’s behavior,” said Joe Biden, in statements from the White House and in an attempt to mobilize voters for the November elections.
On Monday, the United States Supreme Court granted partial immunity to former President Donald Trump in the case of the attack on the Capitol, ruling that his “official” acts as head of state are protected, but not his “unofficial” acts. are officers.”
By six votes against three, those of the six conservative judges against the three progressive ones, the Court considered that “the President does not enjoy any immunity for unofficial acts”, but “is entitled to at least a presumption that of immunity for official acts”.
Donald Trump, campaigning to return to the White House, immediately welcomed the decision, which he described as a “great victory” for democracy.
The Supreme Court’s decision will likely delay Trump’s trial in Washington on charges of federal election subversion, as it clashes with an appeals court ruling that concluded in February that Trump had not immunity for alleged crimes he committed while still President to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
