The judge in New York who oversaw President-elect Trump's criminal hush money case said Monday that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity opinion does not apply to the case.
Aaron Katersky and Peter CharalambousDA Bragg urged New York Judge Juan Merchan to reject Trump 's request to throw out the jury's verdict and dismiss the case on the grounds of presidential immunity.
Trump sought to dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury verdict on the grounds that prosecutors introduced evidence relating to Trump's official acts as President, but Judge Juan Merchan said the evidence related "entirely to unofficial conduct" and "poses no danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the Executive Branch.
Trump was found guilty in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.
