Federal Judge Rejects Trump's Third Bid to Move Hush-Money Conviction to Federal Court

Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected Trump's third attempt to transfer his New York hush-money conviction to federal court, calling his arguments "neither new nor legally sufficient." Hellerstein ruled the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision offers no shield: "Paying hush money to an adult film star or engaging in a cover-up of an embarrassment are not subsumed in presidential immunity." Trump's team plans to appeal.
