A federal judge again denied President Donald Trump’s legal effort to get his New York state criminal hush money case moved to federal court, a move that could have made it easier to reverse his conviction.
District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said in a ruling Friday that Trump’s cited grounds were “neither new nor legally sufficient.”
Hellerstein has previously denied Trump’s request to move the case, but a federal appellate court ruled last fall that the district court judge must reconsider in light of the landmark presidential immunity ruling in July 2024 from the US Supreme Court.
