Manhattan DA Challenges Trump's Bid to Dismiss Hush Money Case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office opposes Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss his hush money case despite his status as president-elect, but they do not object to delaying his sentencing until after he leaves office in 2029. Prosecutors argue that Trump's current presidential status does not warrant dismissing a case initiated before he was immune from prosecution. Trump's legal team claims that presidential immunity should extend to him during the transition period, arguing that ongoing legal proceedings could disrupt his ability to govern.
