Manhattan DA Defends Trump Conviction Against Claims of 'President-Elect Immunity'

New York prosecutors argue that President-elect Donald Trump's criminal conviction should remain intact despite his recent election victory, asserting that there is no legal basis for "President-elect immunity." Trump's defense team has sought to dismiss the indictment and verdict, claiming political bias and referencing Hunter Biden's pardon. The Manhattan District Attorney's office suggests postponing sentencing until after Trump's presidency, while maintaining the jury's guilty verdict. This case marks a historical precedent as Trump is the first person elected president after being convicted of crimes.
