Trump's Attorneys Seek Immediate Dismissal of New York Hush Money Case Citing Presidential Immunity
Nov 20, 2024, 04:13 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's attorneys have demanded the immediate dismissal of his New York hush money conviction case, citing presidential immunity and the constitutional right to a smooth transition of power. They argue that the case would be 'uniquely destabilizing to the country' if it were to proceed. The defense team has written to Judge Merchan, urging the dismissal of the criminal case and citing the Constitution and the upcoming election. The Manhattan DA's Office, under Alvin Bragg, while not opposing dismissal proceedings, is seeking to save the case. Trump's lawyers have requested until December 20 to file their motion to dismiss, while the DA's office has asked for a quicker turnaround, with Trump filing 'promptly' and the DA responding by December 9.
