Legal representatives of the newly elected President, Donald Trump, presented a compelling argument to annul the indictment against him on account of deceit in corporate documentation. Their petition predominantly emphasized on the peculiar words uttered by President Joe Biden while he publicly declared the pardon for his offspring. Quoting President Biden, Trump’s legal team noted, ‘In the issuance of a comprehensive 10-year pardon to Hunter Biden, encapsulating all potential offenses regardless of whether they have been legally addressed or not, President Biden vociferously argued that his son was a victim of ‘selective and unjust prosecution,’ and faced ‘discriminatory treatment.’ The president’s assertions were released Tuesday for public purview.
Emphasizing the severity of Biden’s remarks, they further elaborated, ‘President Biden endeavored to convince the public that ‘the affliction of partisan politics led to judicial mishandling’. Biden’s comments leveled a significant critique against his own Department of Justice (DOJ).’ The petition proceeded to accuse Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of ‘performing a grotesque dance of politics,’ an act that President Biden publicly ridiculed.
The Manhattan District Attorney was chief prosecutor in the Trump case related to fraudulent accounting conduct linked to a secret monetary agreement with adult film performer Stormy Daniels, executed just before the culmination of the 2016 presidential campaign. A jury of peers found Trump responsible on all 34 charges in May, offering a clear testament to their belief in the partisan rails guiding the trial.
With the prospect of presidential immunity on the horizon, Judge Juan Merchan decided to shift Trump’s sentencing into the future due to his recent electoral victory. It was inferred that his presidential status might shelter him from legal repercussions, an argument the DA’s office surprisingly did not contest.
Trump lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, cited the mentioned presidential immunity as a significant factor in persuading Judge Merchan to abandon the charges and portrayed this pursuit as a politically charged and legally flawed game of cat and mouse.
Further bitterly criticizing the process, Trump’s attorneys stated, ‘The entire case is derived from a fabricated, defective, and completely novel legal premise regarding corrections in several documents made in 2017 while they were kept hundreds of miles away from the White House, where President Trump was dutifully leading the nation.’ They expressed their conviction that such a legal case should have been promptly dismissed.
Trump’s legal team also vehemently opposed the notion suggested by the DA’s office, proposing that the case could be held in a state of suspension until Trump’s presidency comes to an end. They simply won’t be entertained by the thought of delaying justice.
Encapsulating their position with a quote from President Biden himself, they stated, ‘As even President Biden said recently, ‘Enough is enough.’ This dramatic phrasing was employed to insist on the immediate cessation of the legal circus that the case has turned into.
Reflecting on the legal petition, Steven Cheung, who officially speaks on behalf of President Trump, characterized it as a ‘dynamic legal appeal’. He further stated that it ‘opens every plausible door for Judge Merchan to undertake the correct path and divorce whatever remains of this farcical escapade forthwith.’
The stage was then demolished, leaving Manhattan DA’s office facing an uphill task. They were given until Monday to form and present an articulate counter-argument against the dismissal plea.
