On Wednesday, Donald Trump commenced the process of appealing his felony conviction related to hush money payments. New legal representation filed the necessary notice of appeal at the Manhattan courthouse where he had been sentenced in January. Trump is challenging his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and seeks to contest the no-jail sentence imposed. His legal team argues that the case indicates misuse of criminal law by the Manhattan District Attorney, asserting concerns about broader implications for public officials and the legal system as a whole.
President Donald J. Trump's appeal is important for the rule of law, New York's reputation as a global business, financial and legal center, as well as for the presidency and all public officials.
The misuse of the criminal law by the Manhattan DA to target President Trump sets a dangerous precedent, and we look forward to the case being dismissed on appeal.
