Judge again rejects Trump's bid to overturn hush money conviction
–
Neutral summary
A federal judge on Friday again rejected President Trump's attempt to move his New York hush money case to federal court, marking the third time he has failed to do so. Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that the president's arguments were 'neither new nor legally sufficient' and that hush money payments to Stormy Daniels could not be considered an official act protected by presidential immunity. Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Daniels.
