NEW YORK — Donald Trump lost one of his efforts to toss his criminal conviction in the Manhattan hush money case Monday as a judge ruled that the Supreme Court's landmark decision on presidential immunity doesn't apply to evidence used in the case.
Justice Juan Merchan, who oversaw the hush money trial in May, rejected Trump's contention that Manhattan prosecutors had improperly introduced evidence of Trump's official conduct from his first presidential term.
