Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Donald Trump has engaged Sullivan & Cromwell to assist in appealing his May conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments. The notice of appeal was filed in New York, with attorneys arguing the conviction sets a dangerous precedent and emphasizing its implications for the presidency and law. The former president, sentenced to an unconditional discharge, has long maintained his innocence and labeled the prosecution a political witch hunt. His new legal team includes experienced lawyers, several of whom have clerked for U.S. Supreme Court justices.
