Congresswoman McCollum Statement Following Supreme Court’s Decision on Trump v. United States

Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN04) released this statement after the Supreme Court of the United States issued its ruling in Trump v. United States:

"Today, six extreme conservative Supreme Court justices, including three nominated by former President Trump, have broken with the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers and overturned 250 years of precedent to shield him and any future president from criminal prosecution for their actions. This ruling places a twice-impeached convicted felon above the law.

"Americans rightly reacted with shock and outrage on January 6, 2021 when the former president directed an angry and violent mob to storm the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from conducting its Constitutional duty to certify the results of the election.

"Every American should understand the danger posed to our democracy by a radical Court that is determined to support the acts of the former president and his followers."
