The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that former presidents — including Donald Trump — have absolute immunity for core official acts, but that not all acts are official.

The 6-3 ruling itself was a "mixed bag," according to legal analysts giving commentary on the decision via X. They walked through the opinion, saying that what has changed is that a president can claim "official acts" and declare his or her innocence.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Donald Trump's motion to dismiss federal cases against him due to his absolute immunity as president. Their decision ruled Trump has some immunity.

The court ruled 6-3, rejecting his claim of absolute immunity from all prosecution but stating that former presidents have absolute immunity for core constitutional powers, but not everything a president does is an official act.

Donald Trump's ally Steve Bannon was subjected to mockery Friday after the Supreme Court ordered he submit himself to prison on Monday.

Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on how "obstruction of an official proceeding" can be used in Jan. 6 charges won't have much of an impact.

MSNBC contributor and Just Security fellow Adam Klasfeld quoted Garland saying, "The vast majority of the more than 1,400 defendants charged for their illegal actions on Jan. 6 will not be affected by this decision."

The U.S. Supreme Court handed a victory to some Jan. 6 defendants and demanded that prosecutors demonstrate specific evidence to show how the defendant was obstructing an official proceeding.

Fewer than 20 percent of the Jan. 6 attackers were charged with obstruction and those that were generally have other charges affiliated with it. Most of the attackers were charged with trespassing on federal property and other crimes about attacking law enforcement.
