Judge Merchan Upholds President-elect Trump's 34 Felony Convictions in Hush Money Case
Dec 17, 2024, 12:09 AM
Judge Juan Merchan has rejected President-elect Donald Trump's request to overturn his conviction in the New York hush money case, ruling that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision does not apply. Trump had argued that his 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal should be nullified due to the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. The judge maintained that the conviction stands, stating that the conduct was 'entirely to unofficial conduct entitled to no immunity protections.'
