Trump Seeks to Delay His Conviction in the New York Hush Money Trial, Citing New Supreme Court Ruling on Presidential Immunity

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have asked the judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing after the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution. Trump's lawyers argue the Supreme Court ruling supports their previous argument that some evidence used in the trial, should have been excluded due to immunity protections for official presidential acts. Prosecutors had argued the case was purely about Trump's personal conduct, not official presidential duties. A judge denied Trump's bid to move the case to federal court.
