What the SCOTUS ruling means for presidential immunity

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on whether or not former presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts they take while in office.

According to NPR, in a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that “a former president has absolute immunity for his core constitutional powers — and is entitled to a presumption of immunity for his official acts, but lacks immunity for unofficial acts.”

Anthony Michael Kreis, an assistant professor of law at Georgia State University, joined “Closer Look with Rose Scott” to provide an analysis of the SCOTUS ruling.
