Trump Cites Hunter Biden’s Pardon in Bid to Dismiss Hush Money Case
Dec 3, 2024, 09:48 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has requested a New York judge to dismiss the criminal case in which he was convicted in May of 34 felony counts related to hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump's attorneys argue that the case should be dismissed due to his victory in the November 5 US presidential election, citing that allowing the local prosecution to proceed would upset the balance of power in the republic. They also reference Hunter Biden’s pardon as a precedent for dismissing the case, claiming it threatens the functioning of the U.S. government.
