Trump Seeks Overturn of Conviction After SCOTUS Immunity Ruling

Donald J. Trump is moving to overturn his recent criminal conviction in Manhattan, citing the new Supreme Court ruling that granted him broad immunity from prosecution for official actions he took as president.

According to a New York Times report, Trump's legal team has argued in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan that the verdict on the hush money case should be invalidated because they believe the jury was exposed to evidence during the trial that should have been shielded by presidential immunity.

The letter will remain undisclosed until at least Tuesday, following which prosecutors will be able to provide their response. Trump's legal team has requested a delay in the sentencing set for July 11, pending Judge Juan M. Merchan's assessment of how the Supreme Court's ruling might impact the conviction.


Trump could potentially face four years in prison for his convictions on charges of falsifying business records.

The Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity has been a topic of much debate, with legal analyst and Fox News contributor Leo Terrell weighing in on the matter. In a recent post, Terrell addressed the court's ruling, writing, "Hey Jack Smith: The Supreme Court just told you: GO TO HELL! #Trump2024."

Terrell's post reflects his unwavering support for Trump and his disdain for those who seek to hold the former president accountable for his actions. The message is clear: Terrell believes that the Supreme Court's decision is a victory for Trump and a blow to his detractors, particularly Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden's fitness for office has once again come into question after he shuffled out to a White House podium on Monday to address the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity. Biden misrepresented the U.S. Constitution and attempted to change the narrative surrounding his failing campaign.

Biden's handlers reportedly smeared him in bronzer to make him look less pale, amid ongoing concerns about his cognitive and physical abilities. The current president is facing criticism for his handling of the student loan debt bailout and for breaking the law by retaining classified documents as a senator and vice president despite both offices having no declassification power.

The debate surrounding Trump's legal battles and Biden's fitness for office is far from over, and the battle lines are drawn in the court of public opinion. It remains to be seen how these ongoing investigations and potential prosecutions will impact the upcoming presidential election.
