A federal judge has rejected Donald Trump's bid to move his hush-money criminal case from New York state court to federal court.
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump 's bid to move his hush-money criminal case from New York state court to federal court, ruling that the former president had failed to meet a high legal bar for changing jurisdiction.
Separately, Trump is charged in federal court in Florida with illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and impeding investigators. Prosecutors want that case to go to trial in December. Trump, a Republican, pleaded not guilty April 4 in state court to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements made to Cohen for his role in paying $130,000 to the porn actor Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an extramarital sexual encounter with Trump years earlier.
Federal officers including former presidents have the right to be tried in federal court for charges arising from "conduct performed while in office," Trump's lawyers argued. If Hellerstein had sided with Trump and moved the case to federal court, the former president's lawyers could've then tried to get the charges dismissed on the grounds that federal officials have immunity from prosecution over actions taken as part of their official job duties.
