Trump Appeals Hush Money Conviction, Seeks Supreme Court Review

President Trump is appealing his criminal conviction related to his hush money case, arguing for the case to be moved to federal court based on the Federal Officer Removal Statute, but legal experts suggest this argument is unlikely to succeed. The appeal hearing is scheduled in a Manhattan appellate court, with Trump not expected to attend, as his legal team seeks to overturn his conviction for falsifying business records connected to payments made before his presidency. The case remains a significant legal and political issue, with broader implications for federal and state court jurisdiction.
