Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have immunity for official acts
The justices rejected Trump's immunity claims in a ruling that left for another day the issue of whether former presidents can ever insulate themselves from criminal charges for officials acts they took while in office.
Justice Samuel Alito said there was no reason for him to step aside from the cases following reports by The New York Times that said flags similar to those carried by the Jan. 6 rioters flew above his homes in Virginia and on the New Jersey shore. His wife, Martha-Ann Alito, was responsible for flying both the inverted American flag in January 2021 and the “Appeal to Heaven” banner in the summer of 2023, he said in letters to Democratic lawmakers responding to their recusal demands.
