The Supreme Court has weighed whether former presidents are immune from prosecution and what exactly it means if they are.
The answer will determine whether former President Donald Trump can be tried on charges of trying to subvert the 2020 election. Trump believes he is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal charges for actions committed while in office.
