Oct. 28 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump late Monday formally appealed his criminal conviction in New York, asking the state's Supreme Court to throw the case out.
Arguing the trial was "fatally marred," Trump's defense said in its 96-page filing, obtained by Politico, that the charges against their client were political, the judge was compromised and evidence that was included in the trial should not have been.
"This case should never have seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone resulted in a conviction," his lawyers said in the filing.
"This court should now reverse."
