The Supreme Court’s immunity decision remanded, or sent back President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6-related case to the district court in Washington. In doing so, the justices directed the lower court to alter how the case proceeded based on their instructions and holdings about the nature of immunity.
In Trump v. United States, the majority said that presidents enjoyed a presumption of immunity for their official acts and absolute immunity for “actions within [their] conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.”
