Prosecutors for Bragg told Judge Juan Merchan the Supreme Court’s recent decision that presidents enjoy some immunity from criminal prosecution had “no bearing” on Trump’s case.

Trump was convicted in May of falsifying records of a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, but after the Supreme Court issued its immunity decision on July 1, Trump requested the trial and charges be dismissed.The Supreme Court had included a stipulation in its ruling that certain evidence involving a president’s official acts cannot be used against the president in a criminal prosecution.
