Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Threatens to Fight Trump’s Efforts to Dismiss Case


Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg firmly rejected efforts to dismiss the ‘hush money’ case against Trump.

Earlier this year Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

Judge Juan Merchan once again delayed ruling on the Trump lawfare case in Manhattan on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Judge Merchan adjourned the case, postponing his decision on the next steps for the lawfare case.

Bragg’s prosecutors urged Judge Merchan to delay Trump’s sentencing while vowing to challenge his attempts to have the case dismissed.

“Given the need to balance competing constitutional interests, consideration must be given to various non-dismissal options that may address any concerns raised by the pendency of a post-trial criminal proceeding during the presidency, such as deferral of all remaining criminal proceedings until after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term,” the prosecutors said in a filing, according to NBC News.

As reported by NBC News:

New York prosecutors told the judge who presided over Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Tuesday that his sentencing should be postponed while the president-elect’s lawyers file further legal arguments asking the case be dismissed.

The proposal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office would need to be signed off on by Judge Juan Merchan to become official. Merchan has agreed to previous requests from prosecutors seeking delays.

Prosecutors said they would challenge Trump’s efforts to dismiss the case, but agreed they’re in uncharted territory when it comes to sentencing a president, and acknowledged that his sentencing might need to take place after his term in office.

“The People deeply respect the Office of the President, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that Defendant’s inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions. We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system,” their filing said.
