However, it also ruled that not all of a president's actions are official, and left it to a lower court to decide which of Trump's actions constitute which.
"Certain allegations – such as those involving Trump’s discussions with the Acting Attorney General – are readily categorized in light of the nature of the president’s official relationship to the office held by that individual," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. "Other allegations – such as those involving Trump’s interactions with the vice president, state officials, and certain private parties, and his comments to the general public – present more difficult questions."
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., wrote on X in response to the decision, "The Supreme Court just delivered a crushing blow to Joe Biden’s 4-year witch hunt against President Trump. Trump will wipe the floor with Biden in November."

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said the decision "is a big win for constitutional separation of powers and a huge loss for those who want to weaponize the federal government against their political opponents."
The No. 3 Senate Republican, Conference Chair John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said on X, "Today is another victory for democracy and the rule of law against Democratic lawlessness."
