Lawmakers clash over the implications of granting former presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts.

The Supreme Court ruled that former presidents are immune from prosecution for actions taken as part of their constitutional duties, but not for private acts.
Democrats argue the decision could allow presidents to commit illegal acts without consequence, citing historical examples like Nixon's Watergate scandal.
Republicans defend the ruling as a safeguard against politically motivated prosecutions, emphasizing the protection of presidential powers.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is set to file a detailed brief outlining new evidence in Trump’s federal election case, following the Supreme Court's decision.
Judge Tanya Chutkan will determine which charges against Trump can proceed, with both sides preparing for a lengthy legal battle that may reach the Supreme Court.
