The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein on Friday denied President Donald Trump’s renewed request to move his New York hush money criminal case to federal court, ruling the cited grounds were “neither new nor legally sufficient.” Trump sought the transfer to pursue dismissal on presidential-immunity grounds after his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Hellerstein said Trump had not shown good cause for the late second removal request and found the Stormy Daniels payoff discussions were not official presidential acts.

Meritless legal bidMostly Left

Trump’s latest effort to move or undo his hush-money felony conviction lacked legal merit and was properly rejected. His repeated attempts to erase the conviction amount to weak rehashes, with his own public statements undercutting the immunity argument.
