Dec 3, 2024, 09:45 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's attorneys have filed a motion requesting a New York judge to dismiss his felony hush money conviction.

The defense also references Hunter Biden's pardon by President Joe Biden as a basis for their appeal. Trump was convicted in May on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments.
