The Supreme Court released the final set of opinions of this term Monday morning — the most anticipated of which deals with whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution in special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 case.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court Monday ruled that presidents sweeping immunity for official acts they took as president.

President Joe Biden addressed the ruling in prepared remarks shortly before 8 p.m. ET, warning of a dangerous decision that was sure to spell disaster should Trump return to the White House.
