Supreme Court rules Trump has immunity for 'official acts'
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Donald Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution as a former president, a ruling that will likely delay his trial for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. The 6-3 decision split along ideological lines comes four months ahead of the election between Trump and Democratic incumbent Joe Biden. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion, said a president enjoys "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution for official acts taken while in office.

Supreme Court sidesteps social media law

The Supreme Court on Monday ordered lower courts to review a pair of Republican-backed laws that restrict social media content moderation in a favorable decision for the tech industry. Trade groups challenged the laws passed by conservative lawmakers in Florida and Texas in a bid to stem what they claimed was political bias by major platforms. The Supreme Court declined to rule on whether it was constitutional for states to pass legislation that limit the powers of social media companies to moderate their content, leaving the two laws in limbo.

Bannon begins four-month prison sentence

Steve Bannon, a prominent right-wing figure in American politics and former senior advisor to Donald Trump, reported to prison Monday to begin a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. Convicted of defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional panel that investigated the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, Bannon and others argue that legal proceedings stemming from the January 6 insurrection against the seat of US democracy amount to political persecution designed to thwart Trump's bid for re-election in November.
