Overview
Donald Trump's legal team is urging a judge to dismiss his hush money conviction before he takes office in January. While prosecutors insist on preserving the conviction, they are open to delaying sentencing. Trump's lawyers argue that the president-elect's mandate from voters should take precedence over prosecutors' concerns. This case, associated with falsified business records to cover hush money payments in 2016, is unprecedented, marking the first conviction of a former U.S. president. A hearing is pending as both sides prepare for the next steps.
