After today's court ruling, could a US president kill a political rival?

For the first time ever, the American Supreme Court has ruled that former presidents are protected from criminal prosecution for some of what they do in office.

Donald Trump is currently facing three criminal cases – and will next week face sentencing for a fourth surrounding the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

What does this ruling mean for him, and for future and past presidents of the United States? Journalist and host of the ABC Podcast America, If You're Listening, Matt Bevan, joined Bension Siebert to unpack the decision.
