Manhattan DA opposes Trump's bid to dismiss hush money conviction

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Trump decisively won the election, sweeping all seven battleground states and making significant gains in places that had been reliably blue in previous years.
37% : When he returns to the White House, Trump will become the first person to assume the nation's highest office with such a criminal record -- if the conviction stands.
31% : Trump successfully staved off trial in his other three criminal prosecutions and was able to punt his New York sentencing until after voters cast their ballots for president.
28% : It made Trump the first former president convicted of a felony.
26% : Now that voters put Trump back in the White House, his attorneys have newly demanded the judge dismiss the case entirely, citing the Presidential Transition Act and the immunity decision.
22% : In May, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records tied to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an alleged affair, which he denies, ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
11% : Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday said they will oppose President-elect Trump's demand to dismiss his New York criminal conviction following the election, instead floating the judge could freeze the case until Trump leaves office.
