US President Donald Trump has filed an appeal to overturn his May 2024 criminal conviction in the hush-money payment case, arguing he is shielded by presidential immunity.
Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records by a unanimous jury in New York.
In December, citing Trump’s imminent return to the White House, a New York judge sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning he would not serve time or pay a fine.
“This case should never have seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone resulted in a conviction,” Trump’s lawyers said in the latest filing.
Remember when even having a criminal charge against you was disqualifying for the presidency?
Or being a pedophile that rapes children.
I miss the days when things like condiment choice and suit colors were among the more controversial things.
Oh don’t worry. They’re still releasing breaking news stories that the family member Mamdani referred to as “auntie” is actually his elder cousin. The scandal!
OMG! The brown suite. I forgot about that.
