In a move that could be straight out of a political thriller, the legal team for President-elect Donald Trump has filed a motion to dismiss his conviction for falsifying business records, raising some eyebrows by leveraging statements recently made by President Joe Biden regarding his son, Hunter Biden. This maneuver has all the hallmarks of a courtroom drama that plays out on cable news, but in this case, the stakes are as high as the Tower of Trump.
The 72-page document filed in New York argues with gusto that Biden’s remarks about Hunter’s legal troubles shine a light on the political motivations behind Trump’s prosecution. The filing emphasizes that Biden’s own words, which labeled his son’s treatment as “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” could just as easily apply to Trump—a masterclass in legal jujitsu, if you will. This dynamic is, of course, ripe for some serious courtroom antics, as Trump’s lawyers brand the entire prosecution as nothing more than a politically charged witch hunt.

Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg gets put under the spotlight for “political theater,” which is a fancy way of saying his case against Trump is more about the headlines than actual justice. After all, a DA pushing an agenda in the court of public opinion is nothing new, especially when that DA belongs to a party that seems to specialize in narrative over substance. According to Trump’s legal team, Bragg’s fixation with the past makes the entire indictment not just flawed but a dangerous precedent that undermines the functioning of government itself.
What’s particularly amusing is the defense’s claim that the narrative underpinning this whole debacle is based on a “contrived, defective, and unprecedented legal theory.” It seems that, in the land of liberal justice, anything goes—provided it suits the narrative. The lawyers also took issue with the notion that proceedings could resume after Trump eventually vacates the White House, branding it a ludicrous proposition that stomps all over constitutional protections.
In what can only be described as a masterclass in irony, the legal filing also calls attention to the fact that the Biden-run DOJ has quietly dropped its own prosecutions against Trump since his reelection. This sudden change of heart calls into question the sincerity and motivations behind these legal pursuits. Could it be that the administration is realizing that their political theater isn’t quite convincing? The irony is rich, especially when the defense’s argument leans on the principle of presidential immunity—something that seems to have slipped the minds of those chasing after Trump since long before he stepped into office.
As this legal drama unfolds, Trump’s legal team is set on establishing their ground on both the realms of justice and the balance of powers. Their call to dismiss the indictment hinges on the foundation of fairness and justice, imploring the court to consider not just the legality of the charges but the overarching implications they carry for the nation as a whole. With a history of political back-and-forth, this case promises to be less about the law and more about who can strike the hardest blow in the ongoing conservative-liberal saga that’s unfolded over the past several years. A two-week pause to gather federal injunctive relief may just be in the cards, but one thing is certain: the political game is far from over.
