Trump again asks appeals court to move New York hush money case to federal court
President Trump is once again attempting to move the hush money case against him to federal court. The case, which is being brought by the state of New York, alleges that Trump violated campaign finance laws by orchestrating payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with him.
Trump’s legal team has argued that the case should be heard in federal court because it involves federal campaign finance laws. They have also argued that the case is politically motivated and is being pursued by the state of New York for political reasons.
This is not the first time that Trump has tried to move the case to federal court. Last year, a federal judge ruled that the case could proceed in state court, but Trump’s legal team is now appealing that decision.
The hush money case is just one of many legal battles that Trump is currently facing. He is also under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election, as well as facing multiple lawsuits related to his business dealings.
Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in all of these cases, and has called them politically motivated attacks by his opponents. Despite his attempts to have the hush money case moved to federal court, it remains to be seen how the courts will ultimately rule on the matter.
In the meantime, Trump continues to focus on his agenda as president, while also dealing with the legal challenges that continue to follow him. It is clear that the legal battles surrounding Trump will continue to be a major focus of his presidency, as he works to navigate the complex legal landscape that surrounds him.
