Three-Tier Immunity Framework Explained
- The Supreme Court's new presidential-immunity framework creates three categories: absolute, presumptive, and unofficial acts.
- This framework forces prosecutors to show when allegedly insulated acts were actually personal or unofficial to defeat immunity.

- Judge Chutkan required Jack Smith to trim allegations tied to core presidential duties to avoid absolute immunity.
- That narrowed indictment resumes the case while preserving government ability to rebut presumptive immunity.
Judge Pauses Trial To Preserve One Appeal

- She reopened previously denied motions to dismiss so the issues can be fully briefed under the new Supreme Court guidance.
