Former President Donald Trump's legal team filed a motion on Thursday to move his hush money case to federal court, potentially impacting his September 18 sentencing.
Trump's lawyers are leveraging a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, arguing the case should be paused while the removal notice is litigated, which could delay sentencing.
This isn't the first attempt to shift the case to federal court; a previous effort was rejected. They remain hopeful that the Supreme Court ruling will change the outcome.
The Manhattan district attorney's office has not commented on the recent filing, and Trump's request to delay his sentencing until after the November election is still pending.
