Donald Trump urged the judge in his New York hush money case to dismiss his conviction in light of the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity last month, according to a new court filing. Trump's lawyers argued in a 55-page filing that the jury's guilty verdict should be vacated because the district attorney's office relied on evidence at trial related to Trump's official acts as president, which Trump's lawyers asserted should not have been permitted in light of the Supreme Court's recent immunity decision.
In order to vindicate the Presidential immunity doctrine, and protect the interests implicated by its underpinnings, the jury's verdicts must be vacated and the Indictment dismissed," Trump's attorneys wrote to Judge Juan Merchan.
