The New York judge in President-elect Donald Trump's criminal hush money case ruled Monday that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision does not apply to that case.

Trump had sought to dismiss his criminal indictment and vacate the jury verdict on the grounds that prosecutors, during the trial last May, introduced evidence relating to Trump's official acts as president, after the Supreme Court later ruled in July that Trump is entitled to presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a longshot bid by the state of Missouri to halt former President Donald Trump's impending sentence and lift the gag order imposed in the New York "hush money" case until after the November presidential election.

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.”

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial has lifted portions of the gag order restricting what the former president can say about witnesses in the trial, such as Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, two days before Trump will square off against President Joe Biden at the CNN Presidential Debate.

The judge who oversaw Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial in Manhattan agreed to partially lift a gag order on the former president Tuesday, granting Trump the ability to speak freely about witnesses in the case and the jury that found him guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

"Circumstances have now changed," Judge Juan Merchan wrote Tuesday. "The trial portion of these proceedings ended when the verdict was rendered, and the jury discharged."

Major elements of a gag order preventing Donald Trump from commenting publicly about certain people involved with his New York criminal trial, including jurors, should remain in place, prosecutors said, perhaps even after Trump is sentenced on July 11.

New York prosecutors say they are open to a partial lifting of a judge's gag order now that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been convicted on criminal charges stemming from an effort to influence the 2016 election by buying a porn star's silence.

Prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said in a court filing dated Thursday and made public on Friday that they supported allowing him to speak publicly about witnesses in the case.
