Federal Judge Rejects Trump's Bid to Move Hush Money Conviction to Federal Court
A federal judge, Alvin K. Hellerstein, has for the third time rejected former and current US President Donald Trump's attempt to move his New York hush money conviction case to federal court on presidential immunity grounds. Trump was convicted in May 2024 on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records about a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump's legal team called the ruling baseless and plans to appeal, while the state appellate process is also ongoing.
