DEVELOPING: Manhattan DA Bragg Opposes Dismissing Trump Hush Money Case

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg opposed dismissing Trump’s ‘hush money’ case.

Crooked Judge Juan Merchan again on Tuesday suspended any decision on the Trump lawfare case in Manhattan.

Merchan adjourned the case today. He will make decision where this lawfare case heads next.

Bragg’s prosecutors told Judge Merchan Trump’s sentencing should be postponed, but that they would fight his efforts to dismiss the case.

“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.

NBC News reported:

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.
