NEW YORK (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers have urged a judge to overturn his conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star because of alleged juror misconduct.
Much of the court filing, which was dated Dec. 3 and made public on Tuesday, was redacted from public view. The nature of the alleged juror misconduct was not immediately clear.
A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose office brought the charges, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump on Monday lost a separate bid to dismiss the case. The Republican businessman-turned politician, who is preparing to begin his second White House term on Jan. 20, had argued that the Supreme Court's July ruling recognizing immunity from prosecution for a president's official acts meant the verdict could not stand.
