Trump's lawyers argued that any delay or alternative proposal from the prosecution could severely disrupt the new administration’s ability to govern effectively, as they stated, 'Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the ongoing threat that he'll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends.' This highlights the potential political ramifications of the ongoing legal battles.
In a blistering response, Trump's legal team labeled the prosecution's proposals as 'absurd,' particularly the suggestion of treating the case as if Trump had died. They insisted that the only viable path forward is the outright dismissal of the indictment, claiming that anything less would 'interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country.' This reflects the high stakes perceived by Trump's lawyers.
