A judge on Monday denied a motion by Donald Trump’s lawyers to throw out the president-elect’s 34-count felony conviction based on a broad U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan ruled that Trump’s conviction in May for falsifying business records in the hush money case, the first time a former U.S. president had been found guilty of a crime, should not be overturned in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling issued July 1. The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling broadly defined official conduct by a president that is protected under the immunity doctrine.
