Stephen King's Trump Supreme Court Comment Goes Viral [View all]
Stephen King has expressed concern after the Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump has "some immunity" from prosecution.
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have immunity for official acts conducted while in office, but not for unofficial acts. The ruling was related to the Department of Justice's election interference case, in which the 78-year-old is accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 general election. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly said the case is part of a political witch hunt aimed at derailing his presidential bid.
In response to the news, King took to X, formerly Twitter, to blast the decision.

"In the name of 'originalism,' Trump's Supreme Court has taken a wrecking ball to the Constitution," the horror author said in a post that has received more than 1.2 million views. Newsweek has emailed Trump's campaign team for comment.
