A federal judge on Tuesday swiftly rejected 's request to intervene in his New York hush money criminal case, spurning the former president's bid to overturn his conviction ahead of his sentencing in two weeks time.
Echoing his denial of U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said the defence failed to meet the high burden of proof for changing jurisdiction and that Trump's conviction for falsifying business records involved his personal life, not official actions that the ruled are immune from prosecution.
In a four-page ruling, the judge wrote that nothing about the high court's July 1 ruling affected his previous conclusion that hush money payments at issue in Trump's case 'were private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority.'
