Trump loses bid to toss hush money conviction based on presidential immunity

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : Though Merchan denied that bid on Monday, Trump has a separate pending motion asking the judge to toss out the conviction and dismiss the case in light of his 2024 electoral victory.
30% : Maintaining the case and proceeding toward sentencing, Trump argued in that motion, would infringe on his presidential responsibilities.
29% : In that July decision -- issued more than a month after a New York jury convicted Trump in the hush money case -- the Supreme Court declared that prosecutors generally cannot charge former presidents with crimes, or even introduce evidence, stemming from their official presidential acts.
23% : Trump also tried to harness the decision to overturn the hush money conviction, in which he was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
15% : NEW YORK -- Donald Trump lost one of his efforts to toss his criminal conviction in the Manhattan hush money case Monday as a judge ruled that the Supreme Court's landmark decision on presidential immunity doesn't apply to evidence used in the case.
