Appeals Court Allows Trump to Move Hush Money Case to Federal Court

A federal appeals court has instructed a lower court to reevaluate whether President Donald Trump’s hush money case should be heard in federal court after his conviction for falsifying business records. Trump’s request for the case’s transfer was denied by U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who cited a lack of good cause. The appeals court noted that the lower court did not adequately consider evidence related to Trump’s official acts. Trump is currently appealing his conviction, claiming it was based on inadmissible evidence.
