Trump Seeks Dismissal of Hush Money Case, Cites Hunter Biden Pardon

Donald Trump's lawyers have requested the dismissal of his conviction for falsifying business records, citing President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, as evidence of selective prosecution. They argue that the case against Trump is politically motivated and violates presidential immunity. The filing criticizes the Justice Department and suggests that the prosecution disrupts the presidency's functioning. Trump's legal team also highlights his contributions to the nation and requests a stay if sentencing is scheduled. The Manhattan DA's office has until December 9 to respond.
