President Donald Trump—the first U.S. president with a criminal record—has officially appealed his felony conviction in the hush money case, seeking to overturn the verdict that made him a felon.
Trump's legal team filed a notice of appeal Wednesday in New York's mid-level appellate court, challenging his May conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records, according to the Associated Press. The case centered on allegations that Trump orchestrated a scheme to conceal a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign.
