The US Supreme Court's ruling that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for his official acts as president plunges a major criminal case against him into doubt and all but assures he will not face trial before the 5 November election.

The US Supreme Court's ruling that Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for his official acts as president plunges a major criminal case against him into doubt and all but assures he will not face trial before the 5 November election.

The court appeared to define official actions broadly, saying presidents cannot carry out their duties effectively with the threat of potential prosecution hanging over every decision. The ruling is a major blow for prosecutors, who now face the burden of proving that Mr Trump's actions were not official acts.
