Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, Manhattan prosecutors are advocating for maintaining his hush money conviction through various methods, including delaying sentencing and marking the case as unresolved due to presidential immunity. Trump's legal team argues for immediate dismissal, asserting ongoing legal proceedings disrupt his presidency. The case remains unique as Trump is the first former president convicted of a crime. Prosecutors emphasize public confidence in the justice system and reject Trump's claims of presidential-elect immunity, pointing to overwhelming evidence of his guilt in falsifying business records tied to hush money payments.
