### 🏛️ **Donald Trump: Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity (Dominant News)**
1. **Historic Supreme Court Ruling:** The U.S. Supreme Court ruled (6-3) that **former presidents have absolute immunity for core constitutional acts and presumptive immunity for other official acts** during their presidency. This directly impacts Trump's federal election interference case. *(Source: BBC, CNN, Reuters, AP, NYT)*
2. **Key Implications:**
* **Delays Trump's Trial:** The ruling sends the case back to lower courts to determine which alleged acts (e.g., pressuring DOJ officials, Vice President Pence) are "official" (immune) or "private" (potentially prosecutable). This **massively delays any trial**, likely pushing it beyond the November election.
* **Core Acts Fully Immune:** Actions deemed within his "exclusive constitutional authority" (e.g., conversations with DOJ) cannot be prosecuted.
* **Major Political Impact:** The decision is seen as a significant victory for Trump, shielding aspects of his conduct and potentially influencing the election campaign. Critics warn it sets a dangerous precedent for future presidents.
3. **Reactions:** Trump hailed it as a "BIG WIN." President Biden called it a "dangerous precedent" that undermines the rule of law. Legal analysts emphasize the ruling's complexity and unprecedented nature.
4. **Other Cases:** The ruling may also affect the timeline or scope of other cases against Trump, including those involving classified documents.
