Trump’s attorneys have requested a federal appellate court in Manhattan to assume jurisdiction over the appeal regarding his New York hush-money conviction. Their argument hinges on the case's extraordinary nature and claims of presidential immunity, as they assert that the prosecution improperly relied on presidential acts. Meanwhile, the potential revocation of Trump's New Jersey liquor licenses remains on hold pending a hearing, crucial for his golf clubs, due to his felony conviction. State law mandates the revocation of a liquor license following a felony conviction, leaving Trump’s licenses in jeopardy.
"The prosecution of President Trump, which never should have been brought, checks both boxes of invoking a federal defense and alleging conduct from official federal acts."
"His lawyers stated the hush-money case relies on now-exempt official presidential acts to reach the verdict, thus meriting federal review."
