Trump persists in pushing for federal court move in NY criminal case.

Donald Trump's attorneys are continuing their legal fight to move the criminal case against him from New York state court to federal court. Trump's lawyers argue that the charges are related to his duties as president, while Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office argues that the alleged hush money scheme was largely perpetrated before Trump became president. Trump was charged in April with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over the alleged repayments to then-lawyer Michael Cohen for hush money payments made during the 2016 campaign to women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump, which he denies. Trump's team says the allegations would violate federal campaign finance laws rather than state laws.
