Trump seeks to overturn criminal conviction, citing Supreme Court immunity decision
CBSN
Donald Trump is trying to leverage a Supreme Court decision holding that presidents are immune from federal prosecution for official actions to overturn his conviction in a New York State criminal case.
A letter to the judge presiding over the New York case is not yet public. It was filed Monday after the Supreme Court's landmark holding further slowed the former president's criminal cases.
A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to comment when asked about Trump's effort to overturn the conviction, which was first reported by The New York Times.
