cbs correspondent jarred hill sent us the latest.y to former president trump or any president of the us for that matter have when it comes to criminal prosecution related to official acts that they are conducting as president. what we heard from the justices is it seems as though the majority don't believe there is this widespread blanket immunity for official acts, as former president trump has made a claim. instead, it does seem as though there might be some middle ground that they are focusing on. with that, there potentially could be the possibility that if they rule in that way, that this case then get struck down back to a lower court, which would snowball delaying another bigger case that is going on, this federal election interference case that former president trump is facing. that potentially could end them getting pushed beyond november's election. meanwhile, we do have this hush money case happening in new york city. this one in new york state. this is not related really to the supreme court case, which kind of makes this
