"Trump's Legal Team Argues Presidential Immunity in Hush Money Cases"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's defense team plans to emphasize his past lawyers' involvement in the hush money payments as evidence that he had no intent to commit crimes in his upcoming New York criminal trial. They will not use a formal "advice of counsel" defense but will argue that the involvement of his lawyers shows his lack of criminal intent. The trial is set to begin on March 25, and Trump's attorneys are challenging the prosecution's ability to prove Trump's "unlawful intent" while questioning anticipated trial witnesses. The defense strategy is still pending a ruling from the judge.
