Vice President Kamala Harris and the dozens of speakers that preceded her at Thursday's Democratic National Convention attacked former President Donald Trump on an array of fronts, including abortion, diplomacy and his litany of criminal charges. Not all of it was true. The USA TODAY fact check team followed along mto sort fact from fiction and add context where it was missing. In July, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision that presidents, including Trump, are at least partially immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. But the court's commited while in office. but the court's decision isn't as clear cut as Harris' remarks make it seem. It declares that "official" acts by presidents are protecte, but steps taken as a candidate are not. The ruling also leaves room for presidents to be prosecuted under a narrow set of circumstances, related to responsiblities within the outer perimeter of presidential duties, or to unofficial acts, as USA TODA Y previously reported.
