Former President Donald Trump asked a judge in New York to dismiss his hush money indictment on the grounds that prosecutors used evidence at trial that went against the Supreme Court‘s recent ruling on presidential immunity.

Trump’s attorneys wrote in a 55-page brief, made public on Thursday, that a jury’s verdict that Trump was guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records should also be tossed out, urging Judge Juan Merchan to correct “injustices” in light of the high court’s landmark decision.

Donald Trump's lawyers on Thursday said Manhattan prosecutors improperly relied on evidence of the former U.S. president's official acts in securing his conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star.

In a court filing dated July 10 but made public on Thursday, defense lawyers said the May 30 guilty verdict in the first-ever criminal trial of a U.S. president should be set aside following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity.

Donald Trump told the judge who oversaw his Manhattan criminal trial that his conviction should be tossed out due to the Supreme Court’s recent decision on presidential immunity, saying the prosecution was an effort “to front-run the Supreme Court on a federal constitutional issue with grave implications.”

Donald Trump makes his first visit to Capitol Hill since leaving the presidency Thursday morning, meeting with Republican lawmakers in what is being billed as a resolutely forward-looking session focused on a potential 2025 legislative agenda.

In fact, Trump has bigger, more immediate legislative priorities.

He has been obsessed in recent weeks with harnessing the powers of Congress to fight on his own behalf and go to war against the Democrats he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him.
