Donald J. Trump's lawyers seek to invalidate his conviction by arguing the recent Supreme Court immunity ruling for official actions as president nullifies the verdict from his criminal hush-money trial.
While the recent Supreme Court decision may not directly impact the Manhattan case's conduct, Trump's defense claims the prosecution relied on evidence from his presidential tenure, which the ruling may prohibit.
Trump's defense highlights the trial testimony of aides, including Hope Hicks, arguing that the use of information from White House events and official communications to support allegations is improper.
The outcome remains uncertain as the judge overseeing the case has shown skepticism towards Trump's immunity claims, making the potential dismissal of the conviction a challenging prospect.
