Trump lawyer claims "serious juror misconduct" in hush money trial and calls for verdicts to be overturned.

• The trial of Donald Trump for criminal hush money was tainted by "grave juror misconduct," according to attorneys for the president-elect. They argued that his guilty verdicts should be thrown out.
• The Manhattan District Attorney's Office stated that the allegations against Trump are "apparently inaccurate," and his lawyers are against a hearing to investigate the claims.
• After Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump's bid to dismiss his hush money conviction, the correspondence was revealed.

The trial of Donald Trump for criminal hush money was tainted by "grave juror misconduct," according to attorneys for the president-elect. They argued that his guilty verdicts should be thrown out.

Attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove wrote to Judge Juan Merchan on Dec. 3, stating that the jury in this case was not fair and impartial.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office responded that the allegations against Trump are "apparently inaccurate," and his lawyers do not want a hearing to fully examine the claims.

The heavily redacted seven-page letter from Blanche and Bove provides few visible details or evidence to support the misconduct claims.

One day after Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Merchan rejected Trump's bid to have his hush money conviction dismissed on the grounds of presidential immunity, the correspondence was revealed.

Even though the judge did not rule on other arguments put forth by Trump's team to dismiss the case, it is uncertain when Trump, who will assume office on January 20, may be sentenced.

In his ruling Monday evening, Merchan stated that Blanche's juror misconduct claims should be thoroughly investigated, but only as part of a sworn affidavit.

Merchan wrote that this court is forbidden from making judgments based solely on hearsay and speculation.

The judge stated that the public filing of unsworn and contested statements cannot be allowed until a properly filed claim is submitted.

"Violating the Order Regulating Disclosure of Juror Information and endangering the safety of the jurors would result in doing so."

Neither Blanche nor the DA's office provided any additional comment when CNBC requested it.

In May, a jury convicted Trump of 34 counts of falsifying business records in a scheme to conceal an alleged affair with Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 presidential election. Trump maintains his innocence and claims he is the target of a politically motivated prosecution and an unfair judge.

Trump's sentencing date was indefinitely postponed in November as his attorneys argued that the case should be dismissed due to his electoral victory.

In the next administration, Blanche and Bove were appointed by Trump to serve in top positions in the U.S. Department of Justice.
