Judge Ordered To Throw Out Trump’s Case

Liberals are seething!

Donald Trump’s legal team is demanding that the Manhattan judge overseeing his hush money case immediately dismiss the conviction, arguing that prosecuting a president-elect is unconstitutional.

In a letter made public on Wednesday, Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, insisted that the case must be thrown out in order to uphold the Constitution and ensure the smooth transition of executive power following Trump’s overwhelming victory in the 2024 election. They cited both the federal Constitution and the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 as key legal grounds for their position.

The letter also drew a parallel between a sitting president’s immunity from prosecution and Trump’s immunity as president-elect. “Just as a sitting President is completely immune from any criminal process, so too is President Trump as President-elect,” the attorneys wrote.

This renewed call to overturn the conviction follows recent statements from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who suggested the case could be postponed until after Trump’s second term, which would begin in 2029. Bragg, a Democrat, has resisted Trump’s request to drop the case entirely, despite Trump’s clear path back to the White House.

In their letter, Trump’s legal team took direct aim at Bragg, criticizing his decision to pursue what they describe as a politically motivated case. They also noted that Bragg is up for re-election in 2025, implying that his actions may be influenced by his own political ambitions. “As DA Bragg engages in his own election campaign, DANY (the District Attorney’s office) appears not yet ready to dismiss this flawed case,” the attorneys argued.

Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records connected to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. His legal team is now pushing for a quick resolution that could impact both his immediate future and his broader political prospects.
