The judge in President-elect Donald Trump’s New York criminal hush money case decided Monday that the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity opinion does not apply to that case.

However, Judge Juan Merchan said on Monday that the evidence related “entirely to unofficial conduct” and “poses no danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the Executive Branch.”
