Citing Hunter Biden pardon, Trump asks judge to dismiss his criminal hush money case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has suggested postponing the sentencing until after Trump completes his second term in 2029, "to balance competing constitutional interests" of Trump's conviction and his presidential duties.
20% : This case, which should never have been brought, must now be dismissed," wrote Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, both of whom have been nominated by Trump for top Justice Department posts in the new administration.
16% : Trump's fourth criminal case, involving allegations of election interference in Fulton County, Georgia, is currently paused as Trump and his co-defendants appeal a decision involving the district attorney who brought the case.
15% : In a lengthy filing that peppered legal arguments with political ones, Trump's lawyers invoked special counsel Jack Smith's recent motion to throw out both his federal cases against Trump based on a Justice Department policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president, as well as President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter Biden over the weekend.
