Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the Manhattan business records case, potentially marking the final stages of the unprecedented prosecution of a former president.

Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, contend in the 72-page dismissal motion that the “Presidential immunity doctrine, the Presidential Transition Act, and the Supremacy Clause” require the case’s dismissal and the verdict to be vacated “immediately.”

In their filing, Blanche and Bove note the positions Special Counsel Jack Smith took last week in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) two federal cases against Trump.

Smith notably filed a motion to dismiss the election interference case and took similar action to end the documents case because the Constitution does not allow the prosecution of a president. These moves signal Smith’s surrender.
