Donald Trump

Former President Trump is trying to overturn his recent felony conviction in the New York 'hush money' criminal case.

Donald Trump is trying to leverage a Supreme Court decision holding that presidents are immune from federal prosecution for official actions to overturn his conviction in a New York State criminal case.A letter to the judge presiding over the New York case is not yet public. It was filed Monday after the Supreme Court's landmark holding further slowed the former president's criminal cases.

But the issue of whether Trump was engaged in official acts has already been litigated in his New York case.Trump sought in 2023 to move the case from state to federal jurisdiction. His lawyers argued that the allegations involved official acts within the color of his presidential duties.
