Live updates: Supreme Court rules Trump has some immunity in his federal election interference case, further delaying trial

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, rejected Trump's broad immunity claims and said that Trump only has immunity for his "official" acts as president. The high court did not determine what constitutes an official act in this case, leaving that to the lower court.
