 In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the nation's highest court ruled presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions taken while in office, but not for unofficial ones. The decision is a win for former President Trump, who sought immunity from prosecution in connection with the January 6th riot at the Capitol and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The ruling tracked with D. John Sowers' arguments as he presented the case back in April on behalf of Donald Trump.
