His lawyers also pointed the finger at Hillary Clinton in a new motion seeking to have the New York criminal charges thrown out.
Donald Trump’s lawyers denounced the five years it took for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office to bring the case against the former president, calling it a “delayed prosecution.” | John Minchillo/AP PhotoNEW YORK — Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a Manhattan judge to throw out the criminal charges related to Trump’s hush money payments to a porn star, arguing inthat the case “has prejudiced President Trump and the public by interfering with his presidential campaign.
Trump is charged in Bragg’s case with 34 felony counts concerning his alleged falsification of business records connected to hush money payments made to silence affair allegations from porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. According to the indictment, Trump directed that reimbursements made to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for money he paid Daniels be falsely recorded as legal expenses in the Trump Organization legers.
Trump’s lawyers asked the judge overseeing the case, Justice Juan Merchan, to hold a hearing about whether the case should be dismissed because of selective prosecution.
