Connecticut Attorney General William Tong released a statement about the verdict in the 6-3 verdict Trump v. The United States.
Tong was relieved that the Court decided "there is no immunity for unofficial acts."
However, he wasn't pleased with the verdict.
"But the Court gave Trump – and all future presidents – far too much unrestrained power for so-called official acts. Even the president – especially the president – must be accountable for abusing the office’s enormous power," said Tong. "Like the dissent, and like well-meaning people across this country, I am concerned today for our democracy – because Donald Trump poses an unprecedent threat to the rule of law, and because the Supreme Court has failed to restrain him."
Tong still remains hopeful that the District Court will "move forward quickly to apply the new, imperfect test – and to hold Donald Trump accountable for his crimes.”
Though Tong doesn't spell out exactly what those crimes are.
Meanwhile, Trump is calling the verdict a "big win for our Constitution and democracy."
