Judge denies Trump's request to dismiss hush money conviction, rejects presidential immunity claim.
Donald Trump's attempt to have his hush money conviction overturned on the grounds of presidential immunity rejected by a New York judge. Payments made to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair are the reason for the conviction. The judge decided that the payments did not qualify for immunity because they were connected to private activities rather than official duties. Trump faces up to four years in prison but could receive a lighter sentence.
