In ruling against Trump's motion to dismiss the case, Judge Merchan stated, 'Even if some evidence pertains to official conduct, it doesn't negate the prosecution's case for personal wrongdoing.'
Trump's legal team attempted to utilize the Supreme Court’s recent ruling regarding presidential immunity, asserting that evidence related to his time in office was improperly included in the trial.
The conviction, stemming from a jury verdict in May involving falsified business records, suggests significant ongoing legal challenges for the incoming president as he prepares for office.
Despite the implications of Donald Trump's conviction, Manhattan Judge Merchan emphasized the independence of the judicial process, affirming that personal actions have distinct legal repercussions.
