Trump's last-minute bid to move his criminal hush money case to federal court highlights his strategy to invoke presidential immunity against prosecution, despite convictions under state law.
Judge Juan Merchan, set to deliver sentencing on September 18, must determine the implications of the Supreme Court's immunity ruling on Trump's New York convictions.
The former president argues the Supreme Court's decision on presidential acts being presumptively immune necessitates a review of the jury's verdict, which includes evidence from his presidency.
Trump seeks a change of venue, criticizing the New York prosecution as politically motivated, claiming his case deserves to be tried in an unbiased federal court.
