The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that former President Donald Trump has substantial partial immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office. Following this ruling, Trump is seeking to have his New York hush-money conviction overturned. Trump's legal team is also suggesting that his upcoming sentencing hearing should be put on hold. The decision has sparked significant reactions, with some viewing it as a victory for Trump and the rule of law, while others, including President Joe Biden, criticize it as a disservice to the nation. The Biden administration's political decision to prosecute Trump was rejected by the Supreme Court.
