Prosecutors are pushing for the preservation of Donald Trump's hush money conviction, despite the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The Manhattan district attorney's office argues that the verdict should stand as it pertains to unofficial acts for which the former president is not immune. They emphasize that the case focused on evidence of Trump's personal conduct, not his official acts, and therefore, the Supreme Court's opinion does not impact the hush money case.

Trump's legal team is seeking to have the verdict and indictment dismissed in light of the Supreme Court's decision. They claim that the trial was tainted by evidence that should not have been allowed under the new ruling, such as testimony from White House staffers and tweets from Trump during his presidency.
