Trump Seeks Hush Money Case Dismissal, Citing Hunter Biden Pardon

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump is attempting to leverage President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, to dismiss his own conviction in the Manhattan hush money case. Trump's lawyers argue that Biden's comments on selective prosecution apply to Trump's situation, claiming political bias in his prosecution. The case, handled by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, resulted in Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts. Trump's legal team contends that continuing the case would impede his presidential transition and be undemocratic. Bragg's office is expected to respond to these arguments next week.
