new york - Lawyers of incoming President Donald Trump argue that the hush money case involving payments to a porn star should be terminated 'immediately'.
The lawyers of Donald Trump have requested the court to dismiss the case related to hush money payments to a porn star, claiming it should be halted 'immediately'.
Trump was found guilty earlier this year in the case but is yet to receive his sentence. Prosecutors are willing to postpone the case for the coming years while Trump is president, but they oppose completely dropping the charges. Trump's lawyers have asked the judge for time until December 20 to file a new motion, explaining why they believe the case should be completely rejected.
The hush money case revolves around a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels. She claimed to have had an affair with Trump, and his fixer paid her hush money before the 2016 elections to keep quiet. Trump is alleged to have later manipulated business documents to obscure the fact that he reimbursed the lawyer. He faces the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence.
