After President Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of his son Hunter Biden, President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers have urged Judge Juan Merchan to throw out his hush money conviction.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is opposing Donald Trump’s motion to have his hush money case dismissed due to his election as president, telling Judge Juan Merchan that “resident-elect immunity does not exist” and that the case can instead be put on hold while Trump is in office.
In May, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records for covering up a hush money scheme in connection with the 2016 presidential election. Even if Merchan rejects this latest motion, which arose after Trump’s electoral victory last month, there’s still another pending motion standing in the way of sentencing. That’s the motion that Trump already had pending to overturn his guilty verdicts or dismiss the case, based on the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling.
