Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday aimed to shut down former President Donald Trump’s recent efforts to throw out his 34-count felony conviction on document falsification charges.

On July 12, the 45th president’s defense attorneys moved to have his conviction overturned on the basis that evidence introduced at the hush-money and election interference trial was improper in light of the Supreme Court’s broad-based ruling on presidential immunity.

In a 69-page memorandum of law in opposition, New York City prosecutors rubbished that line of argument as off-base.
