The US Supreme Court has delivered Donald Trump a major legal victory, ruling that presidents have significant protection from criminal prosecutions.
It sets back efforts to prosecute Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result.
It also gives extraordinary immunity to presidents, putting actions deemed to be ‘official’ beyond the reach of the justice system.
