The Supreme court ruled 6-3 that Fmr. President Trump (and all presidents, by extension) have immunity for acts occurring while serving as president meant for the purposes of the executive branch.

Chief Justice Roberts wrote:

"The President is not above the law, but under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts. That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office."
