Trump lawyers seek dismissal of hush-money case on immunity grounds
Briefly

Trump's legal team argued that the case against him should be dismissed as a matter of law, citing potential disruptions to governmental stability during his impending presidency.
The attorneys highlighted that the Department of Justice typically does not prosecute sitting presidents, claiming this precedent should extend to Trump, even as President-elect.
Their filing indicated that continuing the case could threaten the operational capacity of the government amidst significant national and international affairs.
Prosecutors expressed their intention to vigorously oppose any motion to dismiss, underscoring the ongoing nature of the proceedings despite Trump's claims of political motivation.
