Federal Judge Again Rejects Trump's Attempt to Dismiss Hush-Money Conviction

A federal judge has once again rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to move his hush-money conviction case from state to federal court and dismiss it on presidential immunity grounds. Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that Trump's arguments were 'neither new nor legally sufficient,' specifically stating that discussions regarding hush-money payments are not within the scope of a president's official responsibilities. Trump's legal team plans to appeal the decision.
