US President Donald Trump has urged the court to dismiss the case related to the money given to the porn star. Trump’s lawyers told the New York State judge that his ability to govern would be hindered after taking office on January 20.
Let us tell you that Donald Trump was convicted in May on 34 serious counts related to concealing the payment made to a porn star. Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen had paid $130,000 to porn film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about a sexual relationship before the 2016 election.
The porn actress had said that she had a relationship with Trump a decade ago. However, Trump denied this. A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of tampering with records to hide the money given to Cohen.
This was the first time that a former or current US president was convicted or charged with a criminal case. Trump’s lawyers have appealed to dismiss this criminal case.
An appeal has been made to Justice Juan Marchan to cancel the decision and dismiss the charges.
The case is several years old
According to the allegation, porn star Stormy Daniels met Donald Trump in Los Angeles in 2007. During this time Trump offered her to have sex. After this, the two met again during a charity golf tournament in Tohe Lake in 2011.
Trump called Daniels to his hotel room for dinner. During this time, a relationship developed between the two. A few years later, in a TV interview, the porn star claimed that she was threatened to keep quiet.
Trump’s statement causes uproar
Donald Trump is to be sworn in on January 20 in America. Before this, his statement has created an uproar in the world. Donald Trump said that if the Israeli people held hostage in Gaza are not released by January 20, he will bring destruction in the Middle East.
Let us tell you that during the attack on Gaza last year, Hamas fighters had taken several Israeli Americans hostage. Hamas had demanded that in exchange for their release, Israel should completely withdraw from Gaza and end the war.
However, Israel refused to accept this deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the war will continue until Hamas is completely destroyed. A few days ago, Hamas had informed about the death of some hostages.
