US President-elect Donald Trump
Donald Trump's lawyers told a judge that the Republican's conviction for illegally covering up hush money payments to a porn star should be dismissed because he won the US presidential election and sentencing would threaten his government's stability.
In a letter filed on Tuesday and made public Wednesday, the Republican president-elect's lawyers asked New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for permission to file a formal motion laying out their arguments by December 20.
The lawyers wrote just as a sitting president is immune from any criminal process, so too is President Trump as President-elect.
