DA Proposes Alternatives to Dismissing Trump's Hush Money Conviction

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has urged a judge to maintain Donald Trump's guilty verdict in a hush money case, despite Trump's upcoming presidency. Bragg argues that the public interest in preserving the jury's decision outweighs Trump's request to dismiss the conviction. While acknowledging that Trump cannot be sentenced while in office, Bragg suggests options to delay sentencing until after Trump's term, emphasizing the importance of upholding the criminal justice system's integrity.

NY AG Stands Firm on $500M Fraud Case Against Trump

The New York Attorney General's Office has rejected Donald Trump's request to drop a $480 million civil fraud case, arguing that it does not impede his presidential duties. Trump's lawyer claimed the case's continuation harms national unity and his ability to govern, but the AG's office dismissed these arguments, stating that civil litigation does not violate constitutional duties. The case, which accuses Trump of inflating his assets, is currently on appeal after a judge ordered him to pay significant fines.

"Supreme Court Boosts Trump's Immunity Claim Amid Trial-Delay Strategy"

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in April on former President Donald Trump's bid to dismiss his election interference indictment, focusing on the extent of a former president's immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken while in office. The court's carefully crafted language suggests it may reject Trump's broad immunity claims while protecting core presidential functions, potentially setting a precedent for future presidents. The case also raises questions about the scope of immunity for official acts and the court's refusal to consider Trump's argument related to impeachment.
