Trump Lawyer Tells NY Judge "Constitution Mandates Dismissal." But the Truth is: IT DOESN'T! - Glenn Kirschner
In a troubling development (for two reasons), Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys tell New York State court judge Juan Merchan that "the Constitution" mandates dismissal of Trump's 34 guilty verdicts, that "the Presidential Transition Act of 1963" mandates dismissal of his guilty verdicts, and that "the interests of justice" mandate dismissal as well.
The first problem is that all three of these assertions are false.
The second problem is that these three assertions were made by the person Trump has named as the Deputy Attorney General - the number two person at the Department of Justice - Todd Blanche. - Glenn Kirschner - 11/20/2024.
