Der US Supreme Court hat gerade in Trump vs United States entschieden, dass US Präsidenten bei der Führung ihrer Amtsgeschäfte weitgehende Immunität vor Strafverfolgung genießen.
Das hat ua zur Folge, dass sich der Prozess um Trumps Verhalten am 6. Januar mit sehr großer Wahrscheinlichkeit bis nach der Wahl verzögern wird.
Darüber hinaus hat das Urteil zumindest das Potential, die Macht des US Präsidenten deutlich auszuweiten.

Zitat: Trump is immune from prosecution for some acts in federal election casehttps://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/01...n-00166014
The 6-3 decision, which divided the court along ideological lines, immediately knocked out some of the central allegations that special counsel Jack Smith leveled against Trump, including claims that he attempted to weaponize his Justice Department to concoct or amplify false claims of voter fraud.
However, the opinion also leaves much unresolved, sending the case back to the trial court for further proceedings. There, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan must now sift through the allegations to separate Trump’s official acts — those he took in his capacity as president — from private ones, when he was acting as a presidential candidate. That process could further stall the case by months and is likely to push any trial past Election Day.
The opinion from Chief Justice John Roberts declared that former presidents have “absolute” immunity from criminal prosecution over actions that fall within their “core constitutional powers.”
“There is no immunity,” Roberts wrote, for “unofficial acts.”
