New York Judge Refuses To Throw Out Donald Trump's Hush Money Conviction

A New York judge refused to throw out President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction in his hush money trial on Monday.

Trump’s attorneys formally asked the court to dismiss the case earlier this month following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling that found presidents are entitled to broad immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office. The president-elect’s lawyers said the high court’s decision meant evidence used in the hush money trial was invalid as it stemmed from Trump’s time in office.
