00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02The Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution
00:07for official acts performed while he was president.
00:10This limits the evidence and scope of the election interference case against him.
00:14Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that while the president is not above the law, Congress
00:18cannot criminalize the president's actions that are within the bounds of his constitutional
00:23duties.
00:24Consequently, the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions related
00:28to his constitutional responsibilities.
00:31Trump celebrated the ruling, calling it a big win for the Constitution and democracy.
00:36Prosecutors will now have a higher legal standard to overcome Trump's immunity claims.
