Trump Wants ‘Hush Money’ Conviction Thrown Out

“Donald Trump has asked a New York judge to dismiss his criminal hush money case and vacate his conviction on 34 felony counts by arguing the trial was ‘tainted’ by evidence and testimony that the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity now makes off-limits,” ABC News reports.

“Trump’s lawyers argued that Hope Hicks’ testimony was ‘categorically inadmissible’ because she was advising Trump on his official communications, and the Supreme Court’s ruling placed limits on the use of testimony from presidential advisors related to official acts.”
