text:  The court majority sent the case back to the trial judge to determine which, if any, of Trump's actions were a part of his official duties and thus were protected from prosecution. That part of the court's decision likely ensures that the Washington, D.C. criminal case against Trump won't be tried before the election, and then only if he's not reelected. If he is reelected, Trump could order the Justice Department to drop the charges against him, or he might try to pardon himself in the two pending federal cases.
