The court has thus ruled that Trump effectively enjoys the immunity reserved in the United States to the president during official acts, although it points out that Not all of the acts in which the former president participated can be described in this way.

“We conclude that following the constitutional structure that favors the separation of powers, the nature of presidential power requires that the president in question enjoy a certain immunity from criminal proceedings in the framework of official acts during his term,” said Justice John Roberts.

“At least with respect to the exercise of the constitutional powers granted to the president, this immunity must be absolute,” Roberts said, according to information collected by the television network CNN.

The ruling is a boost for Trump, who has described it as “a great victory for the Constitution and democracy” in the midst of his election campaign to regain the presidency in the elections scheduled for next November. “Proud to be an American,” he proclaimed on social media.
