President Donald Trump is appealing his criminal conviction related to hush money payments, seeking to move the case from state to federal court. His legal team argues that this unprecedented prosecution should be tried federally due to presidential immunity. Despite setbacks in lower courts, Trump's lawyers are pushing for intervention from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If unsuccessful, the matter could escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court. The prosecution contends the case should stay in state court, making the legal battle particularly contentious.
Trump's lawyers claim the unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former and current President should be heard in federal court for due process reasons.
The Manhattan DA's office argues that the criminal case against Trump should remain in state court, emphasizing that it was appropriately handled there.
