Washington – President Biden will deliver remarks Monday night Historic decision of the Supreme Court that former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for official acts he took while in office.
Mr. Biden is expected to make remarks at 7:45 p.m. ET at the White House.
The Supreme Court's decision fell along ideological lines, with the six Republican-appointed justices concluding that former presidents have broad legal protections against charges for alleged acts in the course of their official duties. But the Supreme Court rejected Trump's argument who has absolute immunity unless impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate.
The decision all but ends the likelihood that Trump could be tried before the November election on charges that he conspired to overturn his 2020 loss to Biden.
The Supreme Court ordered the Washington District Court judge overseeing the election case to consider whether Trump's alleged conduct detailed in the indictment were official or unofficial acts.
Mr. Biden's campaign said Monday that the immunity ruling “does not change the facts” about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“Donald Trump broke down after losing the 2020 election and encouraged a crowd to overturn the results of a free and fair election,” the campaign said in a statement, accusing Trump of being “more distraught” since then. .
