Trump's Lawyers Challenge Hush Money Conviction Amid Ongoing Presidential Transition

Donald Trump's lawyers are urging a New York judge to dismiss his hush money conviction, arguing that ongoing legal proceedings violate presidential immunity. They condemned prosecutors' suggestions for managing the case after Trump's election, labeling them as politically motivated and absurd. The conviction, stemming from falsifying business records related to a payment to Stormy Daniels, currently hangs over Trump's presidency, with sentencing postponed indefinitely. Trump's team demands the case be dismissed entirely, asserting that a sitting president cannot face such legal challenges, especially during a transition period.
