Prosecutors in Manhattan sent a letter yesterday to the judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s New York criminal case, seeking to oppose the president-elect’s push to dismiss his conviction.
They said they were willing to freeze the case for four years, while Trump is president.
In the letter, the prosecutors said they were “mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency,” but they emphasized that a jury convicted Trump of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal.
Trump is now expected to move for a dismissal, a legal battle that could reach the Supreme Court. His sentencing, which was scheduled for next week, will almost certainly be delayed.
