Lawyers for President Donald Trump on late Oct. 27 asked an appeals court in New York to throw out Trump’s criminal conviction for falsifying business records.

Evidence in the case was insufficient to convict Trump, his lawyers told the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division in a brief. They also said the court wrongly ruled against the theory that presidential immunity meant official acts could not be used against a president.
