Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump are citing Sen. John Fetterman’s view that the merits of the Manhattan business records case are “bullshit” in their latest filing in support of dismissing the case and vacating the verdict.
Trump’s attorneys wrote that Fetterman’s categorization of the behavior of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office “is apt.” They then slammed Bragg’s office for “an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy” laid out in their brief, filed December 9 in opposition to the defense’s motion to dismiss.
Blanche and Bove again point to the Presidential Transition Act and presidential immunity doctrine, saying it mandates the immediate dismissal of the case. They write that criminal “proceedings interfere with the ongoing transition process, including preparations that are necessary for President Trump to ‘effectively’ carry out ‘constitutionally designated functions.'”
