Former President Donald Trump asked a judge in New York to dismiss his hush money indictment on the grounds that prosecutors used evidence at trial that went against the Supreme Court‘s recent ruling on presidential immunity.
Trump’s attorneys wrote in a 55-page brief, made public on Thursday, that a jury’s verdict that Trump was guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records should also be tossed out, urging Judge Juan Merchan to correct “injustices” in light of the high court’s landmark decision.
