President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers called a suggestion by Manhattan prosecutors "unhinged" when they said the judge should employ a legal option typically used when a defendant dies before sentencing to preserve Trump's "hush money" conviction, according to CBS News.
Prosecutors, in a filing this week, urged Judge Juan Merchan to preserve the incoming president's conviction on 34 felony counts in light of Trump's returning to the White House "with a notation that the jury verdict has not been vacated and the indictment has not been dismissed."
