Jim Trusty, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, has stated that he expects the Trump legal team to seek a motion to dismiss the historic New York City indictment over the $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Glenn Kirschner, a former U.S. Army prosecutor and legal analyst for MSNBC, has criticized House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for attempting to probe the indictment, and Trusty has suggested that the Trump legal team will argue that the indictment is "overreaching" and "unconstitutional." It is yet to be seen if the motion to dismiss will be granted.
