This afternoon, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a letter with Justice Merchan, urging him not to dismiss the criminal case against Donald Trump.
In the letter filed today, Bragg's team argues that the criminal case should not be dismissed, highlighting alternative options for Justice Merchan. These include delaying sentencing and allowing further litigation until after Donald Trump completes his upcoming four-year term as president.
Bragg's letter also notes that Trump's team intends to file a motion to dismiss the case entirely, citing the argument that the case cannot be timely concluded due to the immunity Trump is now likely to receive as president-elect.
While Bragg opposes any effort to dismiss the criminal prosecution, he does not object to delaying sentencing indefinitely. He cites the likelihood that Trump's team will appeal both the verdict and any decision Justice Merchan makes regarding immunity. Bragg further explains that such interlocutory appeals will likely pause the case regardless.
