Judge rejects Trump's request for immunity

The judge dismissed Trump's attorneys' claim that the Supreme Court's decision would reverse the court's decision.

Trump's attorneys contended that his case would impede his capacity to serve as president and that a recent Supreme Court decision exempts him from prosecution for official acts while in office.

The judge in the case had postponed Trump's sentencing indefinitely, despite the fact that it was initially planned for late November.

The judge in the Trump hush money case, Juan Mercan, stated in a 41-page decision that there is no danger of interfering with the government's authority and operations by bringing charges against Trump for his personal actions of fabricating business records.
