The Supreme Court on Friday returned a criminal case against former president Donald Trump to a lower court, and ordered the United States government to make restitution to Trump for his trouble.

The High Court sent the case against Trump back to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, instructing it to handle the case in light of the Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. The Court also ordered the government to reimburse Trump $3,232.80 for legal costs.

The D.C. Court of Appeals, in turn, handed the case back down to Judge Tanya Chutkan “for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion.“

Chutkan had rejected the former president’s claim of immunity, saying Trump’s “four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.”

But the Supreme Court ruled last month that a president cannot be criminally prosecuted for acts taken as part of his official duties.

“The President is not above the law,” the ruling said. “But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.”

The D.C. court will decide whether Trump’s actions involving the 2020 election fall under that category—judgements that could then make their way back up to the Supreme Court. None of that is likely to occur before November’s election.

The Supreme Court ruled that without immunity, presidents could be subjected to unending litigation. It cited precedent that “allegations of malice should not suffice to subject government officials either to the costs of trial or to the burdens of broad-reaching discovery.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) this week filed a bill that said that no current or former president would be “entitled to any form of immunity (whether absolute, presumptive, or otherwise) from criminal prosecution for alleged violations of the criminal laws of the United States unless specified by Congress.” 

If the precedent of prosecuting Trump had stood, and the Supreme Court had not intervened, President Joe Biden and future presidents would almost certainly be prosecuted for various acts. 

Schumer’s bill attempts to move jurisdiction for haggling over the legislation from the Supreme Court to local courts in D.C., where about 93 percent of residents vote for Democrats.

President Joe Biden threatened to cut U.S. support for Israel in a private call with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week after Israel killed multiple top terrorists in the region.

The call, which included Vice President Kamala Harris, came after Israel killed Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s top military commander, on Tuesday and is believed to be behind the Wednesday killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas. Shukr was targeted after Hezbollah murdered 12 children inside Israel over the weekend and Haniyeh was targeted in response to the October 7 attacks.

Axios reported that Biden and his aides were furious after Israel carried out the strikes and demanded that Netanyahu move toward a hostage deal with Hamas. The Biden-Harris administration has repeatedly blamed Israel for not securing a hostage deal with Hamas even though it is Hamas that has repeatedly led negotiators along and backed out of talks.

The report said that Biden warned Netanyahu “that he expects no more escalation from the Israeli side,” even though Israel was protecting itself against those who are responsible for killing large numbers of Israelis.

“Biden also warned Netanyahu that if he escalates again, he shouldn’t count on the U.S. to bail him out,” the report added.

Iran is furious after Israel embarrassed the Islamic regime, which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, by killing Haniyeh as he stayed as a guest at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility by using a bomb that was placed two months ago.

Iran has vowed to retaliate against Israel for the attack and Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Lebanon, has vowed revenge for the killing of Shukr.

The IRGC is disseminating propaganda suggesting that Prime Minister Netanyahu, Mossad Director David Barnea, and others will be targeted for assassination. The image included the message: “there is no safe place for you.”

The Houthis, an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Yemen, have vowed revenge for the killing of Haniyeh and Iranian-backed terrorist groups in Iraq have resumed attacks against U.S. forces in the region.

U.S. officials believe that an attack from Iran and its terrorist proxy groups on Israel is imminent and could happen anytime in the next several days, according to reports from Israeli media.
