Carter statement on SCOTUS granting presidential immunity for official actions

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-GA) today gave the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled in favor of President Trump, granting the President of the United States immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions taken while in office:

"The constitution was upheld today. Biden's Department of Justice has been weaponized against his political opponents since day one. This ruling is an important step towards restoring the American people's faith in our legal system, something Jack Smith's baseless witch hunt has greatly undermined. I'm proud that SCOTUS delivered this important victory not just for President Trump, but for all presidents who do not need to fear retaliation for simply performing the duties of their office."
