Trump Asks Judge Merchan to Toss Guilty Verdict After Supreme Court Immunity Ruling
SUMMARY
Former President Donald Trump has called for Judge Juan Merchan to overturn his guilty verdict following the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity. The Court, in a 6-3 decision, stated that presidents have limited immunity from criminal prosecutions for official acts while in office but not for unofficial acts. Trump’s lawyers argue that this ruling should lead to the dismissal of his 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments made during the 2016 election. They also requested to postpone his sentencing, scheduled for July 11th, as the judge considers the implications of the Supreme Court's decision.
