New York prosecutors say Trump's criminal conviction should stand: "President-elect immunity does not exist"

New York prosecutors say President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House should not undermine the decision of 12 jurors who found him guilty of dozens of felonies in May, telling the judge overseeing the case that the conviction should stand.

"This Court should reject [Trump's] motion to 'immediately' dismiss the indictment and vacate the jury's guilty verdict based on the outcome of the recent presidential election," prosecutors wrote in their filing, which was made public Tuesday. "There are no grounds for such relief now, prior to defendant's inauguration, because President-elect immunity does not exist."
