"The Supreme Court has ruled that former presidents can be immune from prosecution for acts they took while in office. But in the case of former President Donald Trump, it is leaving to a lower court to decide whether he can be prosecuted on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election. The outcome makes it unlikely that a trial could be held before the November election and suggests a lengthy delay before any trial could proceed."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, former U.S. President:
"And I feel that as a president, you have to have immunity. Very simple. And if you don't, as an example of, uh, this case were lost on immunity, and I did nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing and working for the country."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Sherman, The Associated Press:
"Trump's lawyers had asked for the case to be dismissed altogether, arguing that former presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution for actions they took while in office. Those arguments were rejected by the trial judge in this case as well as a unanimous panel of the federal appeals court in Washington."

STORYLINE:
The U.S. Supreme Court justices have sent Donald Trump’s immunity case back to a lower court in Washington, dimming the prospect of a pre-election trial.

In a historic 6-3 ruling, the justices said for the first time Monday that former presidents can be shielded from prosecution for at least some of what they do in the Oval Office.

But rather than do it themselves, the justices ordered lower courts to figure out precisely how to apply the decision to Trump’s case.

The court decidedly earlier in the day on whether state laws limiting how social media platforms regulate content posted by their users violate the Constitution.
