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.

Prosecutors Reject Trump's Immunity Claim in Hush Money Case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argues that President-elect Trump's conviction in the hush money case should not be dismissed due to his election victory, asserting that presidential immunity does not apply. Despite Trump's legal team's efforts to halt the case, New York prosecutors maintain that the conviction should stand, although they are open to delaying sentencing until after Trump's term. This stance contrasts with the federal cases against Trump, which have been paused following his election win.

DA Proposes Alternatives to Dismissing Trump's Hush Money Conviction

Trump's Legal Battles: Hush Money Case Dismissal and Claimed Immunity

Manhattan prosecutors are opposing Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss his criminal hush-money case, arguing that his status as president-elect does not grant him immunity from prosecution. They contend that Trump's presidency does not shield him from criminal charges related to actions taken before his term. Trump's legal team has cited presidential immunity and compared his case to Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter. Prosecutors suggest deferring proceedings until after Trump's presidency rather than dismissing the case, which involves falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels.

Trump Seeks Hush Money Case Dismissal, Citing Hunter Biden Pardon
