“A New York judge ruled Monday that Donald Trump does not have immunity from his conviction on 34 felony counts in his hush money case. Judge Juan Merchan concluded that the case did not stem from Trump’s official acts as president. Trump’s attorneys had sought to have the case dismissed based on a Supreme Court ruling last year. The case centered on falsification of business records related to hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, before Trump became president. Merchan wrote in his ruling that the evidence in the case ‘relate entirely to unofficial conduct and thus, receive no immunity protections.'” (12/16/24)
