Supreme Court Issues Important Decision on Presidential Immunity
Fox News correspondent Brian Lenas reports on former President Trump’s reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity that will impact Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election subversion case.
Former President Trump reportedly moved to overturn his conviction in the Manhattan case on Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have effective immunity for acts committed while in office.
In a 6-3 decision, the court narrowed the scope of the charges against him and sent the case back to the trial court to decide the remainder of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s indictment.
