"Judge Alvin Hellerstein has rejected Trump's attempt to remove the Manhattan DA's criminal case to federal court. While Trump can refile, he'll have to attach either written consent from the DA or leave from the Court, neither of which he has," reported legal expert Lisa Rubin.
"To elaborate as a few have requested, if Hellerstein had held no removal on the merits b/c no official action by Trump, Trump cd have appealed and hoped to have it still in the fed system on Sept 18, the date of sentencing," he wrote. "But now it's back in [Manhattan Judge Juan] Merchan's court and likely to stay."
"Contrary to the wishes of Radical Liberals, President Trump's powerful petition to remove the Manhattan DA's Witch Hunt to federal court has not been ruled on by a judge," said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung.
