Hours after the ruling was announced, Trump's legal team said in a letter to the New York court that the immunity ruling vindicated Trump's position that he should not be judged for his "official acts," and reiterated his call for the conviction to be set aside. "The matter is adjourned to September 18, 2024, at 10 am for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary," Judge Juan Merchan said in a court filing to allow time for consideration of the bombshell Supreme Court ruling. The conviction in New York in May made Trump the first former US president ever convicted of a crime. "The impact of the Immunity Ruling is a loud and clear signal for Justice in the United States. But because the Supreme Court gave limited guidance in its ruling "it's hard to really know, what will count and what won't."
