In a dramatic legal showdown, former President Donald Trump has lost his bid to toss out his hush money conviction, arguing immunity from prosecution. The ruling marks a major setback for Trump, whose team had pushed to dismiss the case on constitutional grounds.
The decision came after Trump’s lawyers claimed that his actions while serving as president shielded him from any criminal liability. However, the court rejected the immunity claim, stating that no one is above the law—not even a former president.
The hush money case centers around payments allegedly made to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Prosecutors argued the payments were part of a scheme to influence the election, while Trump continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Legal experts believe this ruling could have serious implications for Trump’s ongoing legal battles as he campaigns for another run at the White House in 2024. Critics see the loss as a blow to his political comeback efforts, while supporters view it as yet another example of a politically motivated attack.
Trump’s legal team is expected to appeal the decision, setting the stage for further courtroom drama in the months to come.
