Trump urges judge to dismiss hush money case, citing potential Hunter Biden pardon

Lawyers for Donald Trump are urging the judge who presided over his conviction for falsifying business records to dismiss the indictment against him. They argue that President Joe Biden’s comments when pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, suggest that Trump was unfairly targeted and treated differently. The lawyers also claim that the prosecution is politically motivated and legally flawed. They cite Trump’s presidential immunity protections as a reason for dismissing the indictment and argue that the case threatens the functioning of the federal government. They also highlight Trump’s contributions to the country as a reason for dismissal. The lawyers criticize the Justice Department for their prosecutions of Trump and urge the judge to end the case immediately. Trump’s spokesperson called the filing a “powerhouse motion” and expressed hope that the judge will do the right thing. The DA’s office has until Dec. 9 to respond to the filing.
