Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has asserted that former President Donald Trump's 34-count conviction for hush money payments should remain intact despite a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. In a new 69-page brief, Bragg argued that the conviction should stand even if official acts evidence was presented at trial. Prosecutors have urged the judge not to overturn the conviction, countering Trump's claim that the Supreme Court's decision should nullify the New York conviction.
