The elected president of the USA, Trump, failed to convince the judge to overturn his guilty verdict in the "hush money" case on the grounds of presidential immunity, but this case is far from over, as the elected president continues to challenge the verdict in other ways. Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump's argument on Monday that the verdict should be overturned based on presidential immunity. Merchan still needs to rule on Trump's other requests to vacate the verdict. According to a ruling by the USA Supreme Court in July, the USA president enjoys broad immunity for actions taken in office, while personal conduct undertaken in a private capacity is not covered by immunity.
