Missouri Congressman Burlison sounds off on SCOTUS immunity ruling
Missouri’s congressional delegation is split along party lines on Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says Donald Trump is immune from prosecution for “official” acts committed while in office.
Southwest Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison calls the decision a major setback for Biden’s Department of, quote, “Injustice.”
“They have used everything that they can to weaponize the justice system against Donald Trump, including those decisions that were made after the election.”
Those decisions refer to Trump’s claims of immunity for actions he took to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election in the weeks leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
