"Prosecutors said Tuesday that they will oppose any efforts by President elect Donald Trump to toss out his criminal conviction in his hush money case in New York. Now, Trump’s lawyers have been arguing that since he was elected to a second term, he shouldn’t face sentencing or any of the criminal proceedings involving his conviction back in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records."

"These charges arose from his 2016 presidential campaign. Prosecutors allege that he was involved in a scheme to hide a hush money payment, $130,000 to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Stormy Daniels at the time was about to go forward with claims that she had a sexual encounter with Donald Trump about a decade earlier in 2006."

"Trump’s lawyers contend that the case should be thrown out, that the indictment should be dismissed, and that Trump should not face the cloud of a criminal record or a possible sentencing. "

"Once Trump becomes president again, he’ll have the power to issue pardons on federal crimes. But his conviction in the hush money case was in a state court, and presidential pardons don’t apply to state convictions."

STORYLINE:
New York prosecutors oppose any effort to dismiss President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money conviction, but they expressed openness Tuesday to delaying sentencing until after his impending second term.
In a court filing, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said Trump’s forthcoming presidency isn’t grounds for dropping a case that was already tried. But “given the need to balance competing constitutional interests,” prosecutors said, “consideration must be given” to potentially freezing the case until after he’s out of office.
Prosecutors said they’re OK delaying Trump’s sentencing — which had been set for Nov. 26 — while his lawyers fight to get the case tossed out.
The former and future president was convicted in May of falsifying business records to cover up a scheme to influence the 2016 election by paying hush money to squelch a story of extramarital sex. Trump denies the allegations.
