Trump's Plea to Dismiss Hush Money Charges in New York

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have urged a New York judge to dismiss criminal charges related to hush money payments, arguing that the indictment was filed years after the conduct at issue and interfered with Trump's ongoing presidential campaign. They also seek a hearing to inquire about grand jury leaks and obtain more specific information about the prosecution's evidence. Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, relating to how he reimbursed his former attorney Michael Cohen for a payment to Stormy Daniels. His lawyers claim the records were personal, not business, and the payments came from his own pocket.
