Prosecutors Urge Judge to Uphold Trump Hush-Money Conviction
Prosecutors in New York have asked a judge to reject Donald Trump's appeal of his conviction for falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments. The prosecutors argue that the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity does not apply to this case.
Trump's lawyers are attempting to have the verdict and even the indictment thrown out based on the Supreme Court's ruling. The conviction stems from a case brought by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, in which Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal payments made to porn actor Stormy Daniels.
The prosecutors argue that the immunity issue was not raised in a timely manner and that the case involves unofficial acts not subject to immunity. The judge is expected to rule on Trump's arguments by September 6th.
