Republicans, still on cloud nine over turmoil in the Democratic Party after Thursday’s debate, are taking the Supreme Court’s Monday ruling in former President Donald Trump’s immunity case as an unequivocal win.
“I have been harassed by the Democrat Party, Joe Biden, Obama and their thugs, fascists and communists for years,” Trump told Fox News Digital after the court ruled that he has immunity from criminal prosecution for broad official conduct. “And now the courts have spoken.”
The decision will limit the breadth of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s election interference case while almost certainly delaying a potential ruling until after the general election. In effect, the court rendered Trump’s criminal case over the 2020 election a legal nonissue until voters have long decided Trump’s political fate.
