Judge rejects Donald Trump's bid to use presidential immunity to dismiss hush money conviction

ABC  

A judge has rejected president-elect Donald Trump's bid to have his "hush money" conviction dismissed because of the US Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity. Manhattan Judge Juan M Merchan's decision on Monday eliminates one potential off-ramp from the case ahead of Trump's return to office next month, but his lawyers have raised other arguments for dismissal. A jury convicted Trump in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $US130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in 2016. Trump's lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump's presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made while he was in office.
