Trump hush-money prosecutors say conviction must stand despite immunity ruling

Prosecutors say supreme court ruling has no bearing on case and urge judge to deny Trump's bid to toss verdict

The Manhattan prosecutors who secured Donald Trump's historic criminal conviction disputed the former US president's claim that the verdict should be set aside in the wake of a US supreme court ruling on presidential immunity.

In a court filing dated July 24 and made public on Thursday, the prosecutors said the supreme court's ruling had no bearing on their case, which stemmed from hush money paid to a porn star.
