Overview

  • 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.
