The 82-page brief does not plainly spell out the state’s preference for what should happen, instead walking through several options. Prosecutors left the door open to sentencing Trump before his inauguration but acknowledged Trump’s vows to stop it.
“The extreme remedy of dismissing the indictment and vacating the jury verdict is not warranted in light of multiple alternative accommodations that would fully address the concerns raised by presidential immunity,” Assistant District Attorney Christopher Conroy wrote.
No further briefs are expected from either side. Next, New York Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the trial, will issue a ruling on the future of the case, a decision that could come at any time.
