Trump now says SCOTUS immunity voids his entire hush-money case, not just his conviction.
The argument was made in a 55-page legal filing on Thursday.
It argues that grand jurors should never have seen 'official-act' evidence now banned by SCOTUS.

In a new court filing made public Thursday, lawyers for former President Donald Trump argue that his newly-won presidential immunity voids not only his hush-money conviction, but the indictment itself.
