Trump's Legal Drama Intensifies Amid Presidential Immunity Debate

Donald Trump's lawyers argue that Manhattan prosecutors improperly used evidence from Trump's official acts to secure his conviction on hush money charges. They seek to overturn the verdict following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The court's decision impacts other cases Trump faces, including charges related to the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team is contesting his conviction on charges related to hush money payments, claiming Manhattan prosecutors inappropriately used evidence from his time in office. This follows a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Trump's sentencing has been delayed, with a final decision expected by Sept. 6.

Justice Juan Merchan postponed Trump's sentencing after defense lawyers cited the Supreme Court's ruling that presidents cannot be criminally charged for official acts. Trump's attorneys argue that the jury's guilty verdict is invalid due to improper evidence. Manhattan prosecutors have until July 24 to respond to these claims.

Legal experts doubt Trump's chances of overturning his conviction, as much of the case involves actions before his presidency. Trump's legal challenges extend beyond this case, affecting other charges including efforts to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents. Trump denies all charges and plans to appeal after sentencing.
