Radio host and comedian Charlamagne the God says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan should acknowledge reality and dismiss the fraud verdict against President-elect Donald J. Trump. Speaking on his radio show on Wednesday, Charlamagne pushed back against Bragg’s assertion that the sentencing in the case should merely be postponed during Trump’s tenure in the White House.
“New York City, just throw the whole thing away, alright? Cut it out. Who are we fooling? Who are we fooling? Nothing’s going to happen to Trump, and nobody wants that retribution that he may deliver hanging over their head. Just—he won the election. It is what it is,” the radio host and entertainer said. “Cut ties, sever your losses, throw the whole case away. Come on. Who are we fooling, y’all? Who are you fooling, like seriously?”
“And if you push it back for four years, that might give him more reason to stay, OK? … He is the same person who told his voting base, ‘Just vote one more time, you’ll never have to vote again.’ All right, wink wink. OK? Come on,” he added.
In a court filing yesterday, Bragg indicated his office would prefer to proceed with sentencing or adjourn the case until after Trump leaves the presidency in four years. Judge Merchan appears open to the adjournment and has set a hearing on the matter for next week.
Meanwhile, also on Wednesday, attorneys for President-elect Trump filed a letter asking that they have until December 20 to file a motion to dismiss. The letter argues that the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, and the interests of a smooth presidential transition require the verdict to be thrown out.
NEW: In a letter to Justice Merchan, Trump’s defense team previews its new motion to dismiss his New York hush money case.
They request a Dec. 20 deadline to file the motion seeking immediate dismissal.
