Former President Donald Trump wants a New York judge to dismiss the criminal case against him charging that he falsified business records relating to hush money payments, arguing prosecutors waited too long to bring their case.
"The delay has prejudiced President Trump, interfered with his ongoing presidential campaign, and violated his due process rights," the filing by Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles contends, and the charges should therefore be dismissed.
That information was hush money paid to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
In their filing, Trump's lawyers contended it was accurate.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in both federal cases and denied wrongdoing in the AG's civil case.
