US President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers have asked a judge to dismiss his hush money conviction, arguing that it would disrupt his transition efforts. Prosecutors have until December 9 to respond, but have indicated openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump's second term ends in 2029. Trump has been fighting to reverse the conviction, which involved efforts to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels.
