The federal election interference case against Donald Trump is headed back to the lower courts following a historic Supreme Court ruling.

The court's ruled 6-3 that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office, but not unofficial acts.

Political commentator and National Columnist for the Washington Post Philip Bump told Mike Hosking that the lower courts will determine what counts as official.

Bump says in this case, the lower courts will now rule on whether Trump's pressuring of Vice President Pence to reject electors in certain states was part of his presidential duties.
