Supreme court to issue Trump immunity decision
Good morning US politics readers. Today marks the final day of day of the supreme court term, with justices expected to issue its long-anticipated decision on Donald Trump’s presidential immunity claim.
The former president’s case is one of four rulings yet to be decided and certainly the one of greatest consequences. In Donald Trump v the United States, he is seeking absolute immunity from criminal prosecution over his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his role in the January 6 Capitol Hill insurrection.
The court has three other cases reing on the docket, including two cases over social media laws in Texas and Florida that could limit how platforms regulate posted content. The rulings will be issued one by one, starting at 10am eastern time.
Here’s what else we’re following:

-
Steve Bannon, Trump’s longtime ally, is set to turn himself in to prison in Connecticut after the supreme court rejected his last-minute appeal to avoid prison time.
