Marjorie Taylor Greene rallies support for Trump ally Steve Bannon outside his cushy prison as he is set to begin four-month sentence today: Follow along for U.S. politics live updates

The Supreme Court has issued its monumental decision on presidential immunity.

The decision will have massive implications for presidential powers and the cases against former President Donald Trump.

The six-three opinion was split between conservative and liberal justices.

Liberal justice Sotomayor joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson filed a dissent. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is outside the Danbury federal prison where Steve Bannon is set to report for his four-month prison sentence this morning.

Bannon was sentenced in October 2022 after he was found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena.

'This is a DISGRACE to our country, and an affront to the principles of justice it was founded upon," Greene wrote on X about Bannon's sentence. 'Republican voters need to fight harder than ever: this election is not over.'

House Republicans have promised to file a legal brief to help Bannon avoid jail time.

The Court also takes on part of Smith’s indictment that Trump sought to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to use his ‘ceremonial role’ to ‘fraudulently alter the election results’ when Congress met to count the electoral votes.

Since Trump’s conversations with his VP are deemed ‘official,’ they, too, would be immune.

‘Whenever the President and Vice President discuss their official responsibilities, they engage in official conduct. Presiding over the January 6 certification proceeding at which Members of Congress count the electoral votes is a constitutional and statutory duty of the Vice President. … The indictment’s allegations that Trump attempted to pressure the Vice President to take particular acts in connection with his role at the certification proceeding thus involve official conduct, and Trump is at least presumptively immune from prosecution for such conduct.’

New Jersey Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez arrived at a New York federal court Monday morning as his bribery trial continues.

Over the past seven weeks, federal prosecutors have laid out their corruption case against the embattled Democrat who was indicted on bribery charges alongside his wife Nadine Menendez and three US businessmen.

A June 2022 FBI raid of Menendez's home uncovered at least 13 gold bars, nearly half a million dollars in cash and a luxury convertible that are all alleged payments to the Democrat for favors.

The Menendezes and two of the businessmen have pleaded not guilty. One has pleaded guilty and is working with federal prosecutors.

Menendez's defense is expected to argue that his family's Cuban heritage and specifically his father's gambling habit prompted the senator to develop a habit of storing cash out of a fear of scarcity.

The high court’s majority opinion rules Trump is ‘absolutely immune’ from prosecution for his alleged meetings with top Justice Department officials in the last weeks of his presidency.

Jack Smith’s indictment says Trump and alleged co-conspirators ‘attempted to use the power and authority of the Justice Department to conduct sham election crime investigations’ and to send a letter saying they found significant concerns that might have impacted the outcome.

But the Court ruled the alleged conduct falls within Trump’s officials acts that are protected.

‘The indictment’s allegations that the requested investigations were shams or proposed for an improper purpose do not divest the President of exclusive authority over the investigative and prosecutorial functions of the Justice Department and its officials,’ the majority held.

‘Because the President cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority, Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials.’

The Biden campaign reacted to the Supreme Court decision on immunity with a statement from a senior campaign adviser:

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer doesn't think Michigan is winnable for President Joe Biden.

In a call with Biden's campaign chair Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, the Michigan Democrat said the highly important swing state may no longer be in play after the President's disastrous debate performance.

Following a chaotic debate where Biden stumbled over his words, lost his train of thought and was oftentimes hard to understand, Democrats are scrambling and some are calling for him to drop out.

Whitmer's name is being floated as a potential replacement on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, as well as California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

But Whitmer, according to Politico said on her call with Dillon that she didn't like her name coming up as a fill-in should Biden be ousted from November's ballot.

The Chicago Tribune has joined the chorus of damning editorials that have slammed a second Biden term as the publication branded him a 'man who gets flustered and struggled to keep track of complex facts'.

Following the president's humiliating performance at Thursday night's CNN debate against former US President Donald Trump, American media has rallied together in their growing calls for Joe Biden to step down.

The 81-year-old is set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign this weekend amid the fallout of the debate, but if the liberal media has finally caved on the president, his options may be limited.

When former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon reports to prison on Monday after a legal battle, he will step inside a low security federal lockup with a satellite camp and a bakery.

Although Bannon fought mightily to stay out of prison – bringing an appeal to the Supreme Court – the facility where he will begin his four-month sentence is considered desirable for inmates facing federal lockup.

Ghislaine Maxwell tried to serve her 20-year sentence there when she was convicted of aiding Jeffrey Epstein in trafficking in underage girls.

Sometimes termed 'Club Fed,' the prison was partly the inspiration for the Litchfield Prison depicted in the Netflix series 'Orange is the New Black.'

Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance has seen him switch positions with Donald Trump when it comes to basic questions of competence, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com.

It found that more independent voters would prefer convicted felon Trump to babysit their children than the 81-year-old president, who cultivates an image of the twinkle-eyed grandfather.

Need to put up a shelf, plan a road trip or just hang out with someone?

The J.L. Partners poll of 805 independent voters who watched the debate found that Trump was the choice in each case.

It marks a stunning setback for Biden, whose aides hoped would be able to use the debate to remind viewers of the chaos and anxiety of Trump's years in power.

Some Democratic donors are waiting for the post-debate polling before deciding whether to press for President Biden’s removal as the party nominee.

In private, donors were texting each other and calling each other frantically over Biden’s stumbling debate performance, according to Axios.

So far, they have not been publicly calling for Biden to step aside.

The Biden campaign revealed over the weekend it raised $33 million since Thursday’s debate including $26 million in grassroots donations.

Party leaders are publicly backing the president, but should he step aside multiple names have surfaced as possible replacements. They include:

More and more Americans are growing concerned that President Joe Biden no longer has the cognitive faculties to serve as president after his car crash performance against former President Donald Trump .

The number of registered voters who believe Biden, 81, isn't fit for the title of commander-in-chief grew by seven percent from earlier this month.

Before the debate in a June 9 poll, 65 percent said Biden doesn't have the mental fitness to serve another four years – but after the debate, that grew to 72 percent, according to the CBS News/YouGov survey .

And nearly half (46 percent) of Biden's own party don't think he should run for president in 2024.

Jill Biden graced the cover of Vogue as she's accused of 'elder abuse' by allowing Joe to continue his 2024 reelection campaign despite his disastrous debate.

The first lady covers the August issue of the fashion magazine in a $7,000 outfit, including a white power suit. The photo portrays an image of authority at a time Democrats say she is the only one who can talk Joe Biden off the presidential ticket and reigniting charges from conservatives that the first lady is a real power in the White House.

The glowing piece – which includes a short interview with Biden – was done before the president’s disastrous June 27th debate performance. It focuses on her work as first lady – including her fight for women’s health – and notes her commitment to another term in the White House.

Vogue affixed an editors’ note atop the online story to acknowledge current events. It notes the first lady called in from Camp David over the weekend – where the Biden family was gathered – to double down on her support for the president, brushing off Joe Biden’s fumbles in Thursday night’s debate.

The Supreme Court's biggest blockbuster decision is set to come down at 10 a.m. ET today.

It comes during the last day of the court's session before the justices depart on summer recess.

The ex-president's team argued that Trump, and any president, must have absolute immunity from prosecution over actions taken while in office or it could impair important decision-making.

The decision will impact whether Trump will go back to trial over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election before November.

Focus much of this weekend post-debate has been on the Biden family, who gathered at Camp David to discuss their patriarch's political future.

The family has offered its unequivocal support to the president and even wondered how they can get further involved, with troubled son Hunter insisting his father fight back into the race.

Democratic Party leaders desperately pleaded with rank and file committee members to not abandon President Joe Biden despite his train wreck debate performance.

During a secret call after the CNN debate in Atlanta on Thursday, DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden's campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez tried to quell concerns over the President's viability as their 2024 candidate.

But those on the call claim leaders are gaslighting them and asking them to ignore obvious signs of mental decline. They believe that Biden, 81, might not be the best one for the job anymore.

With just a month-and-a-half until the Democratic Convention, many Party members, strategists and donors are wondering if they should seek a replacement.

Joe Salazar, an elected DNC member from Colorado who was on the call, said:

Joe Biden is 'humiliated' and 'painfully aware' of his image following his calamitous debate performance, as he is set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign.

The president has retreated to Camp David with is wife, children and grandchildren to take a break from the campaign trial and weigh his options, NBC News first reported.

Insiders described Biden's mood as 'humiliated and devoid of confidence' following his face off with Donald Trump that saw him stumbling over his words and losing his train of thought multiple times.
