Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is opposing President-elect Donald Trump’s motion to dismiss his hush-money case, suggesting that it instead be put on hold while Trump is in office because “president-elect immunity does not exist," MSNBC reported Tuesday.
“[E]ven after the inauguration, defendant’s temporary immunity as the sitting President will still not justify the extreme remedy of discarding the jury’s unanimous guilty verdict and wiping out the already-completed phases of this criminal proceeding,” Bragg wrote to New York Judge Juan Merchan on Monday.
