The US Supreme Court recognized that former President Donald Trump has partial immunity from prosecution in the case of storming the Capitol. Joe Biden called the decision a “dangerous precedent.”

In a six-to-three decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that while former presidents enjoy immunity for acts committed within their constitutional powers, they do not have immunity for acts committed privately. Thus, Donald Trump was granted a certain immunity in the case of storming the Capitol.

“No one is above the law”

Against the background of the court ruling, Joe Biden issued a statement in which he called on Americans not to vote for Trump.

Biden called the court decision ” a continuation of the attack on the long-established legal foundations of the American nation.” He recalled that US presidents have very great powers, however, they have always been limited by law in what they do, since America is built on the principle “no one is above the law,” not even the president.

After today's decision, there are no restrictions on the actions of the president, including restrictions from the law or the Supreme Court, the politician said.

Biden explained that the court's decision means Trump is unlikely to face trial before the November 5 election. He also quoted one of the dissenting judges as saying that the president has now become a monarch who stands above the law.

The US leader pointed to the “dangerous precedent” created by the court's decision . After all, now the power of the president will no longer be limited by law. The only limits will be set by the President himself.

The American people must decide whether they want to put power back in the hands of a man who tried to illegally hold onto power. “I will respect the limits of the president’s power, as I have done for the last three and a half years, but others, like Donald Trump, will be free to ignore the law,” Biden said.
