Trump's legal team seeks dismissal of hush money convictions, citing presidential duties.

Trump's legal team is asking a New York judge to dismiss his hush money conviction, which involves a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to suppress claims of an affair before the 2016 election. Trump's lawyers argue that the case would impede his ability to govern if he is inaugurated as president in January. Prosecutors plan to oppose the dismissal but have suggested delaying sentencing until after Trump's term.
