Trump seeks to set aside New York hush money verdict hours after Supreme Court ruling

In prior court filings, Trump contended he is immune from prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office. His lawyers did not raise that as a defense in the hush money case, but they argued that some evidence - including Trump's social media posts about former lawyer Michael Cohen - comes from his time as president and should have been excluded from the trial because of immunity protections.
