Supreme Court rules on Trump's immunity

The court rules that Trump has some immunity from prosecution.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office, but have no immunity for unofficial acts. The landmark decision means the federal election interference case against Donald Trump will return to a lower court which will then decide how to apply this ruling. We get more from our correspondent in Washington.
