Former President Trump's legal team requests a NY judge to dismiss his hush money conviction based on the US Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity.

Former President Trump's legal team has requested a New York judge to dismiss his hush money conviction, citing the US Supreme Court's ruling that presidents are immune from some criminal charges. The Supreme Court's decision potentially provides the judge with the authority to address the perceived injustices in Trump's earlier conviction on 34 counts related to the hush money. Trump's lawyers argue that the conviction should be overturned as the Supreme Court decision grants broad immunity protections to presidents, insulating them from prosecution for official acts and restricting the use of official acts as evidence in unofficial action cases.
