Appeals court gives Trump another shot at erasing his hush money conviction

  • On Thursday, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit revived President Donald Trump’s bid to move his New York hush money case to federal court, ordering reconsideration of jurisdiction.
  • Trump’s lawyers argue the charges relate to presidential conduct and cite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, saying prosecutors rushed to trial instead of waiting for that decision.
  • Appellate judges questioned whether the lower court fully considered trial evidence admitted in Manhattan, including testimony about White House interactions, relating to immunized official acts.
  • The appeals panel told U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein to reconsider if evidence relates to official acts and whether Trump sought a federal forum, leaving procedural options to him.
  • The decision could affect precedent by giving President Donald Trump another route to overturn his 34 felony counts conviction in the Stormy Daniels hush money case and reshape immunity rules.
