Donald Trump may be immune from charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

The court split 6-3 along partisan lines to rule that presidents cannot be prosecuted for actions that fall within their “core constitutional” roles.

Official acts are entitled to a “presumption of immunity’, meaning the burden is on Jack Smith , the special counsel who brought the indictment against Trump , to rebut the immunity claim.

The district court in Washington DC will decide which charges Trump can claim presidential immunity from.

A New York jury convicted Trump of 34 counts of falsifying records related to a hush-money payment made to Stormy Daniels .

His legal team are now arguing that the conviction should be overturned because the jury considered evidence from his presidency, which would have been covered by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
