US President Joe Biden criticized the decision of the Supreme Court of the country to recognize former President Donald Trump's partial immunity from criminal prosecution in the case of the attack on the Capitol. "In practical terms, this decision means that there are no more restrictions on the president. This is a fundamentally new principle and a dangerous precedent. The powers of the president are no longer limited by the law," said Biden. Four months before the presidential elections in the United States, the Supreme Court of this country ruled that absolute immunity from criminal prosecution refers to the president's actions within the framework of his constitutional powers. John Roberts, the conservative president of the Supreme Court. announced yesterday that the president enjoys "absolute immunity" for official actions taken while in office. "Immunity does not apply to unofficial actions," Roberts said, sending the case to a lower court to determine whether the charges against the former president are related to official acts. or informal behavior. Donald Trump called this decision a victory for democracy. At the same time, the protection does not extend to actions he takes as a private individual "off the record." The ruling gives Trump another important deadline extension, as it means his trial in federal court in Washington for trying to manipulate the last presidential election will take place. only after the November 5 presidential elections.
