Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita issued the following statement on Monday after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken while serving.

“As Indiana’s attorney general, I was proud to advocate in an 18-state brief for the result we saw today – the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that former presidents such as Donald Trump have immunity for official acts taken while in office.

“The Left has made an art form out of weaponizing our judicial institutions against their political adversaries, but no matter which side does it, that kind of manipulation is wrong and dangerous to our republic.

“With this ruling, the court took strong and necessary action to protect ALL American presidents from partisan political prosecutions pertaining to conduct involving their official actions.”

On Monday, Congressman Jim Banks (R-Ind.-03) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken while serving.

“Today’s decision is a massive win for the Constitution and a massive blow to Joe Biden, who would’ve rather prosecuted President Trump than run against him in a fair and honest campaign,” Banks said. “Corrupt Democrats tried to take American voters out of the 2024 election by twisting the rule of law and weaponizing our justice system. But the Democrats failed. In November, voters will get to decide between four more years of disaster under Joe Biden or returning to the Trump policies that gave us peace abroad and prosperity at home.”

Congressman Banks is the Republican nominee for Indiana’s open U.S. Senate seat.
