US President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers cited President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Tuesday to throw out Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” conviction, reports the New York Post.

The attorneys argued that Biden’s claim that the cases against Hunter were “infected” by politics echo the president-elect’s argument that the charges of falsifying business records levied against him by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office were politically motivated.

The lawyers added that failing to throw out the jury’s verdict would unconstitutionally interfere with Trump preparing to serve a second term.

The 72-page filing accuses Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose office brought the case, of engaging in “political theater,” which Trump’s lawyers say Biden “condemned” while announcing a blanket pardon for his son Sunday night.

Trump, 78, was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to former porn star Stormy Daniels.

His federal cases on charges of hoarding classified documents at Mar-A-Lago and trying to overturn the results of his 2020 presidential election loss to Biden before the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol are both winding down now that he’s been elected president, officials say.

Trump was convicted in the Manhattan criminal case of falsifying business records while in the White House in 2017 to cover up the Daniels payment—which was made a year earlier in the stretch run of the 2016 campaign.

Bragg, who has floated delaying Trump’s sentencing until 2029, is due to reply to the filing from Trump’s attorneys by December 9.
