Trump Calls for ‘Immediate’ Dismissal of Hush-Money Case

Donald TrumpHis lawyers told a Manhattan judge that Bay’s silence plea should be dismissed “immediately” because continuing the prosecution would “disrupt the operation” of the U.S. government.

Trump’s lawyers said in a letter to the court on Wednesday that pursuing the case would be “uniquely destabilizing for the country.” Trump faces up to four years in prison after a jury in May found him guilty of falsifying business records for payments made to an adult film star before the 2016 election.
