As Trump operates in a hostile legal and political climate, the dismissal motion highlights the ongoing battle for justice amid partisan attacks.
Trump’s legal defense has recently filed a motion to dismiss charges in the “hush money” New York case, arguing that the charges are politically motivated.
These allegations stem from conduct before his presidency.
Lawyers maintain that prosecutorial actions are intended to disrupt the president-elect’s transition and undermine federal government operations.
Similar allegations have been dismissed by federal courts, setting a precedent for what Trump’s legal team deems selective prosecution.
Trump’s attorneys argue that this case is comparable to the scrutiny surrounding Hunter Biden.
They reference special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to dismiss federal cases against Trump based on DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
Moreover, they point to President Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter Biden as further evidence of selective and unfair prosecution, Reuters reports.
This comparison raises concerns about unequal treatment under the current administration.
The motion also follows Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to postpone Trump’s sentencing after his conviction on 34 felony counts.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg suggested delaying sentencing until after Trump’s second term in 2029 to balance constitutional interests.
Trump’s defense argues this would violate the DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president, highlighting the case’s potential to severely impact the federal government’s functioning. Fox News reports.
Additionally, the defense cites the Presidential Transition Act, the Supremacy Clause, and presidential immunity as primary reasons for dismissal.
They claim that the case is grounded in a flawed legal theory, explicitly stating its political motivations.
Trump’s lawyers criticize the actions of the DOJ and DA Bragg, stating that their prosecution harms the Republic’s power structure.
In a related instance, a federal judge previously dismissed charges against Trump upon the request of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
The defense underscores this dismissal, emphasizing the perceived political bias and the stakes involved in the New York case.
Trump’s legal team views the charges as an intentional disruption of his presidential duties, threatening fundamental federal government functions.
