Manhattan DA Bragg Argues Against Dismissing Trump's Hush-Money Case

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has filed an 82-page motion opposing Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss his hush-money case, citing Trump's "history of malicious conduct" as too serious to ignore. Bragg argues against Trump's claim of presidential-elect immunity, stating it does not exist. The case involves Trump's alleged falsification of business records to conceal a payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Bragg highlights Trump's history of threatening and attacking legal participants, which weighs against dismissal. The DA requests sentencing before inauguration or a case hold until after a potential second term.
