Following its controversial immunity ruling, the Supreme Court on Friday sent Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 election interference case back to a federal judge in Washington, DC, The Washington Post reported. U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan will now decide how much of the case can survive the high court's new "immunity" test, which grants presidents immunity for "official acts."
In a 6-3 decision last month split along ideological lines, the Supreme Court's right-wing majority ruled that Trump and other presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution when carrying out their official duties. But they did carve out narrow exceptions for private acts by certain official acts that can be taken to trial, while leaving it up to lower courts to figure out what that means.
