Is President Trump immune to lawsuits?

April 27, 2017 by Maggie Baldridge

Two decades ago the Supreme Court came to a decision in Clinton v. Jones (1997). The Court ruled that while the President has immunity from civil lawsuits against him or her for official actions while in office, such immunity does not extend to suits against actions which occurred prior to his or her presidency. President Donald Trump now brings the question of presidential immunity back into public debate as he faces numerous lawsuits against actions he made as a private citizen.
