AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - Trump loses longshot bid to erase hush money conviction
A federal judge again declined to erase President Trump 's hush money conviction on Friday, noting that the president's arguments were "neither new nor legally sufficient." Why it matters: The loss is another blow to the president, who has sought to get the conviction of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled presidents have immunity for "official acts." What they're saying: "There is no way that discussions regarding hush money payments to cover up the President's relations with Stormy Daniels could be an official act," Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote in a 35-page filing published Friday. Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
