Donald Trump asks for hush money conviction to be dismissed after Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have some immunity from prosecution

ABC  

Donald Trump has asked the judge in his New York hush money fraud trial to set aside his conviction and sentencing following a US Supreme Court ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts. 'Nightmare scenarios' made possible by ruling Trump claimed he'd had a "big win" when the ruling was announced, though the Supreme Court has not spelled out exactly how its decision affects his ongoing legal woes. But the court's other three justices warned the decision could lead to "nightmare scenarios" where presidents could carry out military coups or order political assassinations without fear of prosecution. Under four criminal counts, he is accused of: pressuring the Justice Department to investigate baseless claims of election interference trying to manipulate the electoral college voting system by using "fake electors" to register votes for him in states that actually voted for Joe Biden pressuring his then-vice-president, Mike Pence, not to certify the results encouraging his supporters before the attack on the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021 In fighting the allegations, Trump's lawyers had argued he shouldn't be prosecuted because a president has "absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed within the outer perimeter of his official duties". "There's no other way to put it — this case is a major win for Donald Trump," says Claire Wofford, a political scientist at the College of Charleston who specialises in the US legal system.
