Trump team references Hunter Biden pardon in hush money case dismissal bid

President-elect Donald Trump's legal team referenced President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter when filing their motion to dismiss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case.

Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 hush money payment that his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied wrongdoing and maintained that the case was part of a broader political witch hunt against him.

The Tuesday filing quoted the outgoing commander-in-chief, saying ”[a]s President Biden put it yesterday, ‘Enough is enough,’" The Hill reported.

Biden issued an 11-year blanket pardon to his son that covered not just his convictions and existing charges before the courts, but any crimes he may have committed in that window.

He had previously made numerous public promises that he would not do so.
