Alvin Bragg's motion in Trump's hush money case has challenged the Supreme Court's recent presidential immunity ruling, Glenn Kirschner said.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's Wednesday motion in Donald Trump's criminal hush money case has 'kicked the door wide open' on the Supreme Court's recent presidential immunity ruling, according to former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.The prosecution's filing comes nearly a month after the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that presidents have broad immunity for official acts.
His legal team has filed to fight the case. Earlier this month, Trump's lawyers asked the judge to throw out his conviction based on the new Supreme Court decision.The verdict makes Trump the first former president convicted of felony crimes, and he now faces possible jail time, which, as presiding Judge Juan Merchan noted, 'if such is still necessary' after the Supreme Court's decision, will be determined on September 18.
