Former President Donald Trump on Thursday sought to bolster legal arguments that his 34-count felony conviction on document falsification charges should be thrown out after the fact.

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.

On July 25, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg rubbished that line of argument in a lengthy memorandum of law in opposition.

In a 23-page reply brief, Trump aims to refute the arguments advanced by prosecutors — by seizing on some of their concessions.
