Donald Trump’s lawyers have filed paperwork pushing for dismissal of his Manhattan criminal hush-money case.

The dismissal pitch came after Judge Juan Merchan’s decision on 22 November to indefinitely postpone the president-elect’s sentencing so lawyers on both sides can argue over its future, given Trump’s victory in the recent presidential election.

While Trump’s lawyers have repeatedly pushed for dismissal to no avail, his impending return to the presidency has presented an opportunity for them to make their case once again.

Merchan said in his postponement decision that Trump’s lawyers had a 2 December deadline to file their argument for dismissal. Prosecutors had a week to submit their response.

1. GD it. I am so sick of this. He's already been tried and found guilty. He's not going to get a state

pardon so this is nothing more than irritating bullshit.

3. Is there a Constitutional Amendment that says a convicted felon cannot be President while in prison?
