US President Biden is scheduled to speak at 7.45pm US Eastern time

On Monday the US Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump has some immunity from prosecution in his federal election interference case.

More here:

• This case is the first criminal prosecution in our Nation’s history of a former President for actions taken during his Presidency.

The decision is what Biden intends to address in his comments.

Coming up at 7.45pm US Eastern time

• 2345 GMT

Its not clear if Biden will be taking questions. I imagine if he does they'll centre on his competence to stand in the Presidential election, rather than on the question of criminal activity by Trump.

A sad state of affairs indeed.
