Trump was convicted in May in case stemming from payment his former lawyer Michael Cohen made to Stormy Daniels
on Monday lost a bid to overturn his criminal conviction stemming from hush money paid to a porn star in light of the US Supreme Court’s July ruling recognising immunity from prosecution for a president’s official acts.
In a statement, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung called the judge’s decision “a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s decision on immunity”. Mr Trump pleaded not guilty and called the case an attempt by Mr Bragg, a Democrat, to harm his 2024 campaign. Another criminal case against Mr Trump over the 2020 election in Georgia state court is in limbo. He pleaded not guilty in all cases.
