Alvin Bragg Challenges Trump's Appeal Citing Presidential Immunity

Manhattan DA argues Trump's hush money conviction should stand despite Supreme Court ruling on presidential acts.

  • Bragg filed a 69-page brief urging the court to reject Trump's appeal based on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling.
  • Trump's legal team claims his conviction should be overturned due to immunity for official presidential acts.
  • The Supreme Court ruled ex-presidents have substantial immunity for official acts, complicating ongoing cases.
  • A ruling on Trump's appeal is expected by September 6, with sentencing delayed to September 18.
  • Legal experts suggest Bragg has a strong argument against Trump's immunity claim.
