President Donald Trump loses again in bid to erase his hush money conviction
Hellerstein said Trump’s renewed arguments were not new or legally sufficient, leaving the felony conviction intact as the appeal continues in state court.
- On Friday, District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected President Donald Trump's bid to move his New York state hush money case to federal court, ruling the grounds were "neither new nor legally sufficient."
- The case stems from Trump's May 2024 conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
- Hellerstein criticized the defense for seeking "two bites at the apple" during February oral arguments, stating Trump "failed to show good cause and diligence" in his removal request.
- With the federal removal bid now blocked for the third time, Trump's state conviction remains intact as he pursues an ongoing challenge through the New York state appellate process.
- The federal appellate court had ordered this reconsideration following the Supreme Court's July 2024 presidential immunity ruling, though Hellerstein determined the defense failed to meet the legal threshold for transfer.
