Judge rejects Trump’s latest bid to erase hush money conviction

Donald Trump Alvin Hellerstein
  • A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump 's bid to move his 34-count New York state criminal conviction to a federal court.
  • Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that Trump's request was neither new nor legally sufficient, stating he failed to show good cause and diligence.
  • Trump sought the transfer to federal court in an effort to eventually appeal the conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court following its ruling on presidential immunity.
  • The case stems from May 2024, when a New York jury found Trump guilty of business fraud related to hush money payments made ahead of the 2016 election.
  • The decision marks the third time Judge Hellerstein has rejected Trump's attempt to move the case to a federal jurisdiction.
