A federal judge has indicated he is likely to once again dismiss Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn his hush money conviction, sharply criticising his legal team for what he described as "taking two bites at the apple."
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, tasked by an appeals court to re-evaluate the matter, displayed a mix of questioning and disbelief during nearly three hours of arguments. Trump is seeking to transfer his case from the state court where he was tried to a federal jurisdiction, where he could then petition for its dismissal on grounds of presidential immunity.
