Golden Finance reports that, according to a court document, the lawyer of the elected President Trump formally requested the judge on the 2nd to overturn his criminal conviction in the "hush money" case, stating that continuing to hear this case would constitute an unconstitutional "interference" with the presidential office. In the public court documents, Trump's lawyer told New York State Judge Juan Merchan that, given the special circumstances of Trump's impending return to the White House, it is necessary to overturn the conviction. The lawyers wrote: "Continuing with this case would interfere with Trump's presidential power transition." It is reported that the U.S. prosecution needs to respond by December 9. Previously, the prosecution had stated that they would work to oppose any attempts to overturn this case, but were willing to delay sentencing until after Trump's second term ends in 2029.
