Joe Biden has described as a “dangerous precedent” a Supreme Court ruling giving former President Donald Trump partial immunity from criminal prosecution.
The current US president said the judgement undermined the “rule of law” and was “a terrible disservice” to Americans.
Earlier, Trump hailed the court’s decision as a “big win” for democracy.
The justices found on Monday that a president had immunity for “official acts” but was not immune for “unofficial acts”, and referred the matter back to a trial judge.
