00:00U.S. President Joe Biden has condemned a Supreme Court's decision to grant former
00:04President Donald Trump partial immunity for his role in the January 6th U.S. Capitol riots.
00:10Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the
00:15president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle and it's a dangerous precedent.
00:23The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 on ideological lines to grant all former
00:28presidents partial immunity from criminal charges. This means actions taken by Trump
00:32in an official capacity as president will be granted immunity, though unofficial ones could
00:38be used as evidence in court. The judgment delays the criminal case against Trump for allegedly
00:43undermining the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, which he lost to Biden.
00:49The U.S. Supreme Court has a conservative majority.
