Biden to address Supreme Court’s Trump immunity ruling in White House remarks
[ad_1]
President Biden will deliver remarks from the White House Monday addressing the Supreme Court’s decision to grant former President Donald Trump absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his presidency.
Biden, 81, will speak from the executive mansion’s red-carpeted Cross Hall at 7:45 p.m.
Earlier Monday, a Biden campaign official likened the high court’s ruling to giving the 78-year-old former president “the keys to a dictatorship.”
In its 6-3 decision Monday, the Supreme Court did not rule on whether Trump’s alleged effort to interfere in the 2020 presidential election falls into the category of an “official act,” leaving the question up to lower courts to decide.
A US district court and DC Circuit Court of Appeals had both previously rejected Trump’s absolute immunity arguments.
“BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” Trump declared on Truth Social after the Supreme Court’s ruling.
