out president Donald Trump or
0:34
president-elect Donald Trump's legal
0:36
team they're flying high right now
0:39
because they know that they got a big
0:41
victory with the case being delayed they
0:44
know that the sentencing never happened
0:46
now the sentencing is delayed until who
0:47
knows when and the team is saying now it
0:52
has to be dismissed now I'm not a legal
0:55
expert can't weigh in here but it seems
0:57
to me that it would be the prudent thing
1:00
to do when you have the president elect
1:02
the next president of the United States
1:05
and you have to sentence him that maybe
1:07
you should dismiss this thing
1:08
considering it's a nonsense crime to
1:11
begin with I want to know what you guys
1:13
think after you watch this report so let
1:15
me know and please give me your comments
1:18
in the comment section so much and we
1:21
want to turn to more breaking news right
1:23
now just under CNN Donald Trump's legal
1:25
team is asking judge Maran to dismiss
1:28
the criminal hush money case now that he
1:30
has been elected president CNN's PA
1:32
joins us this wasn't a surprise but it's
1:34
still significant it is significant in
1:37
this two-page letter Trump's lawyers lay
1:39
out their arguments for why they believe
1:41
this case should be tossed just
1:43
yesterday the Manhattan District
1:44
Attorney's office said they're okay with
1:47
delaying sentencing in this case until
1:49
after Trump is out of the White House
1:51
but they said they're going to fight any
1:53
attempt to dismiss this case where Trump
1:55
was of course convicted on 34 counts of
1:58
falsifying business records but today
2:00
they laid out their arguments the Trump
2:02
team saying that now that Trump is
2:04
president-elect this case must be
2:06
dismissed they say quote just as a
2:09
sitting president is completely immune
2:11
from any criminal process so too is
2:13
President Trump as President elect so
2:16
they're asking the judge for a little
2:18
more time to file uh their arguments for
2:21
why they believe this will be dismissed
2:23
they also gave them the option to just
2:24
dismiss it today I don't think he's
2:25
going to go for that he's going to want
2:27
this fully briefed but it's notable to
2:29
me that they ask for a little extra time
2:31
the Manhattan da said let's get our
2:32
filings in by December 9th but they
2:34
asked for extra time because they want
2:36
to see what Jack Smith is going to argue
2:38
by December 2nd in the federal cases and
2:40
here you know they note the fact that
2:42
Federal prosecutors are winding down
2:43
their cases but that's that's completely
2:45
different Pamela right because those are
2:46
federal cases if he enters the White
2:49
House and wants to have those dismissed
2:50
he could he made it clear he will um but
2:52
State cases are outside the power of the
2:54
executive branch so this is a slightly
2:56
different situation the team also makes
2:58
it clear they will continue to pursue
3:00
their appeal options at the federal
3:02
level sources familiar with their
3:03
thinking tell me they're pretty
3:04
confident they're going to get this
3:05
tossed one way or another unclear when
3:08
judge Juan Maran will rule I know you'll
3:10
sit on top of it thanks so much Paul
3:11
Reed and just two months from
3:13
inauguration day that's where we are and
3:15
Donald Trump's cabinet is rapidly taking
3:17
shape with only a few rolls left to be
3:19
filled last hour
