Deep dives
Legal Immunity for U.S. Presidents
U.S. presidents have absolute immunity from federal prosecution for official acts but not for unofficial conduct. The recent court decision in favor of Donald Trump reduced the chance of a federal trial before November. Trump's lawyers argued for immunity by claiming his actions were within official duties, while federal prosecutors feared this could enable presidents to commit crimes.
Security Concerns in Europe
Several U.S. military bases in Europe were put on alert due to terrorism concerns in the region. The security level was raised to the second-highest level, indicating a threat against U.S. personnel or facilities. This move reflects heightened activity in Europe, with France and Germany also increasing security measures for upcoming events.
