THE BARE STORY
Lawyers for President Donald Trump are scheduled to argue before New York’s Appellate Division, First Department, seeking to overturn his 2024 conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
A unanimous jury convicted Trump in May 2024. The case involved a $130,000 payment connected to his former attorney, Michael Cohen, according to court filings described in the appeal.
Trump’s defense team argues that the prosecution was improperly brought and that state law was misapplied. The lawyers also contend that evidence involving presidential conduct was introduced in violation of presidential immunity protections. Trump has described the case as politically motivated.
Attorneys for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argue that the charges concerned unofficial conduct and were properly brought under state law. They say the conviction was supported by extensive evidence and was not affected by presidential immunity claims.
