What does Trump’s Supreme Court immunity decision mean?

This landmark decision, which applies to all US presidents, means that while a president can be prosecuted for personal actions, they are protected for official acts. The ruling delays Trump’s criminal case concerning his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol riots, as the case now returns to a lower court.
