Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump insist in a new court filing that the New York judge overseeing the "hush money" case must dismiss the action against their client prior to his return to the White House.
The letter from Trump’s defense team comes in response to a motion filed earlier this week by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which opposes dismissal and offered some creative legal alternatives to throwing out the verdict and indictment. Trump's team is seeking to dismiss the case entirely, given his reelection.
