Judge says Trump not immune from hush-money convictions despite Supreme Court ruling

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The ruling stems from Trump in May 2024 being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the Empire State.
33% : Trump also claimed more fundamental problems -- that evidence of his official acts as president infected the indictment itself because such evidence was presented during the grand jury process.
29% : A state judge in New York is refusing to throw out the criminal hush-money case against Donald Trump, determining that the U.S. Supreme Court's sweeping ruling regarding presidential immunity was not applicable to the president-elect's current case before the court because the actions resulting in his conviction related "entirely to unofficial conduct" from his first tenure in office.
24% : Specifically, Trump argued that the state improperly used a few references to David Pecker, 72, the onetime CEO of the National Enquirer's parent company American Media Inc., in laying out its case for grand jurors.
