NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction , arguing continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that dismissal is warranted because of the “overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5, 2024.” They also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted of tax and gun charges . “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’" Trump’s legal team wrote. The Manhattan district attorney, they claimed, engaged in the type of political theater "that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but indicated a willingness to delay the sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. Former President Donald Trump walks to make comments to members of the news media May 30 after a jury convicted him of felony crimes for falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York. In their filing Monday, Trump's attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies wrongdoing. Taking a swipe at Bragg and New York City, as Trump often did throughout the trial, the filing argues that dismissal would also benefit the public by giving him and “the numerous prosecutors assigned to this case a renewed opportunity to put an end to deteriorating conditions in the City and to protect its residents from violent crime.” Clearing Trump, the lawyers added, also would allow him to “to devote all of his energy to protecting the Nation.” The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and since were selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. A dismissal would erase Trump’s historic conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. Trump takes office Jan. 20. Merchan hasn’t set a timetable for a decision. Merchan could also decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. Prosecutors cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump pledged to appeal the verdict if the case is not dismissed. He and his lawyers said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work. A month after the verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that ex-presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts — things they did in the course of running the country — and that prosecutors can’t cite those actions to bolster a case centered on purely personal, unofficial conduct. Trump’s lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made during his first term. Prosecutors disagreed and said the evidence in question was only “a sliver” of their case. If the verdict stands and the case proceeds to sentencing, Trump’s punishments would range from a fine to probation to up to four years in prison — but it’s unlikely he’d spend any time behind bars for a first-time conviction involving charges in the lowest tier of felonies. Because it is a state case, Trump would not be able to pardon himself once he returns to office. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes.

The International Atomic Energy Angency (IAEA) on Friday sounded the alarm over the possibility that Iran may ramp up its uranium enrichment to close to weapons-grade. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said that Iran is "dramatically" increasing enrichment up to 60% purity, close to the roughly 90% needed for a nuclear weapon. Grossi made the remarks on the sidelines of the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain. What did the IAEA chief say about Iran's uranium enrichment? The UN nuclear watchdog chief said Iran's production of highly enriched uranium was expected to jump to more than 34 kilograms (75 pounds) per month, compared to the current 4.7 kilograms. "This is a message. This is a clear message that they are responding to what they feel is pressure," Grossi said about Iran's position. Europe and the US have argued that there is no civilian justification for Iran's enrichment to those levels, claiming instead it is for the purpose of producing nuclear bombs . Iran has repeatedly denied that it is pursuing nuclear weapons. Grossi said UN inspectors are planning to see just how many centrifuges Iran would be spinning, after Tehran informed his agency of its plans. "I think it is very concerning," the IAEA chief said. "They were preparing and they have all of these facilities sort of in abeyance and now they are activating that. So we are going to see," Grossi added. "If they really make them turn — all of them — it's going to be a huge jump," he said. IAEA requests assurances from Iran The IAEA issued a statement on the matter shortly after Grossi spoke to reporters. The agency called on Iran "to provide timely and technically credible assurances that the facility is not being misused to produce uranium of an enrichment level higher than that declared by Iran, and that there is no diversion of declared nuclear material." The reported increase in Iranian production drew international criticism. A German foreign ministry source told Reuters that the ramp up in enrichment represented "a serious escalatory step by Iran." "It is obvious that such measures significantly worsen the framework for diplomatic efforts," the source said. The IAEA report comes on the same day as Iran launched its heaviest-ever payload , using a domestically developed satellite carrier, official media reported. The homegrown Simorgh satellite carrier is a two-stage, liquid-fueled satellite launch vehicle developed by Iran's defense ministry. The US has warned against Iran's space activity, arguing technology used for satellites could be applied to ballistic missiles, potentially capable of carrying nuclear warheads. jcg/ab (Reuters, AFP, AP)

The entertainment here at The Rec was not dampened by a wet and wild night out west, and was only enhanced by listening to La Rochelle coach Ronan O’Gara roar, rant and rave. His French side won a spiky tie, sealing it with a huge scrum penalty to snuff out Bath’s last faint hope. A Bath fan, at the bottom of a two-pint jug of beer, who had been listening to O’Gara’s smack talk all game told him that “swearing shows a lack of intelligence”. The Irishman smiled and waved him away, high-fiving his coaching staff. Ultimately, it was Bath’s shoddy lineout that put paid to their chances here, letting down all the grit they showed to pull back a half-time score of 21-6. Their losing bonus point was well fought for.In an exclusive report by Western media, it has been revealed that Raúl de Tomás and Real Madrid are currently engaged in negotiations to secure a contract extension for the talented forward.
