Trump's attorneys argue that ongoing legal proceedings could cause "irreparable harm" not just to him but to voters beyond Manhattan, prompting their request to move the case to federal court.
This legal maneuver attempts to delay sentencing originally set for September 18, with Trump already facing potential prison time for his felony conviction related to hush money payments.
Experts suggest that moving the case might alienate Judge Merchan further, who is already skeptical of Trump's attempts to delay proceedings, as the Manhattan DA argues the motion lacks merit.
This legal battle underscores the intersection of Trump's criminal cases and his 2024 presidential campaign, raising questions about the implications such trials may have on his candidacy.
