Trump Spox Rages After NY Judge Upholds Conviction

“Today’s decision by deeply conflicted, acting Justice Merchan in the Manhattan DA Witch Hunt is a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s decision on immunity, and other longstanding jurisprudence. This lawless case should have never been brought, and the Constitution demands that it be immediately dismissed, as President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process, and execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this, or any other, Witch Hunt. The sooner these hoaxes end, the sooner our country can unite behind President Trump for the betterment of all Americans.” – Trump spokesman Steven Cheung, via press release.

NEW: Judge Merchan refuses to toss Trump’s NY felony convictions bc of the SCOTUS immunity decision. As I predicted, Merchan held that bc Trump’s lawyers failed to object on immunity grounds to most of the evidence, they lost the right to argue that it was improperly admitted. ⬇️ https://t.co/fADBWHED3Q
