United States. The court determined that former President Donald Trump some immunity from prosecution in his federal election interference case, adding another obstacle to special counsel Jack Smith’s [taking the case to trial](. The 6-3 ruling along ideological lines not only represents a crushing blow to the efforts to hold the president accountable, but also radically reshapes the power of the presidency in a way that could have lasting consequences for American democracy. In the aftermath of last week’s disappointing debate performance and subsequent [misguided attempts]( at damage control, President Joe Biden [sat down]( with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on Friday to discuss the future of his campaign. Despite efforts to reassure Democrats’ anxieties about his 2024 re-election bid, Biden’s interview may have [accelerated the revolt]( against his nomination. Two more Democratic lawmakers, Reps. Mike Quigley of Illinois and Angie Craig of Minnesota, have since joined the [growing list]( of Democrats who are calling on Biden to bow out of the race. Earlier in the week, Trump ally Steve Bannon began serving his four-month sentence in federal prison for defying a congressional subpoena. Another Trump ally, Rudy Giuliani, was [barred from practicing law]( in New York over his repeated 2020 election lies. While Americans celebrated their Independence Day, the United Kingdom cast its votes in a [historic parliamentary election](, which proved a sweeping victory for the Labour Party, putting an end to 14 years of Conservative Party rule.
