President Biden addressed the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity on Monday, calling it a"dangerous precedent."
Writing the opinion on behalf of the six conservative justices, Chief Justice John Roberts said former President Trump is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts, but there is no immunity for unofficial acts. The court sent the case back to a lower court to determine which of Trump's actions regarding the Jan. 6 insurrection, if any, were official duties and therefore subject to immunity.
President Biden said it was the character of the president that would define the limits of the office's power,"because the law will no longer do it."
