Legal observers of former President Donald Trump’s hush money conviction believe there is ample evidence it will be overturned on appeal.
That’s the basis of an argument put forth by David W. Fischer, a Maryland and D.C.-based criminal defense attorney, who posited online that the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling gives Trump’s attorneys all the ammo they need to overturn the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The Democratic prosecutor most recently declined to oppose a delay in a sentencing hearing, suggesting he too is aware that the high court’s decision could upend the case Trump has long called politically motivated. According to Fischer, the former president is on solid ground in arguing that his criminal actions were protected “official acts” while in office.
