Biden denounces supreme court decision on Trump immunity: ‘He’ll be more emboldened’

In speech from White House, president said ruling undermined the rule of law' and compared their characters

Joe Biden has issued a full-throated denunciation of the US supreme court's decision to grant his predecessor, Donald Trump, broad immunity from criminal charges of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election, calling it a dangerous precedent" that overturned the basic principle of equality before the law.

In a 5-minute speech from the White House, Biden said the 6-3 ruling undermined the rule of law" and rendered a terrible disservice to the people of this nation" because it means Trump is much less likely to be held legally accountable for inciting a mob to launch a deadly attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
