A New York judge ruled against a bid by US President-elect Donald Trump to have his hush money conviction thrown out, rejecting his argument that a recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity applied to the case. Judge Juan Merchan ruled that the immunity granted to presidents for official acts did not extend to the conduct involved n Trump’s conviction, which related to “entirely unofficial conduct entitled to no immunity protections.” The ruling brings Trump closer to becoming the first president to enter the White House with a felony conviction, pending an appeal. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
