Robert Giuffra Jr., a notable appellate lawyer from Sullivan & Cromwell, will spearhead President Trump's appeal against his criminal conviction. Trump was convicted last year on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records linked to hush money payments during his 2016 campaign. Giuffra argues that the use of criminal law in this context sets a troubling precedent, impacting not only Trump but also the integrity of public officials and New York's standing as a legal hub. His appointment signals a significant change in the legal backing available to Trump following a time when he faced resistance from major law firms.
Mr. Giuffra's involvement underscores how New York's legal power players have warmed to the president, highlighting a shift in support as Trump appeals his conviction.
The misuse of the criminal law by the Manhattan D.A. to target President Trump sets a dangerous precedent for public officials and the rule of law.
