Donald Trump legal challenges to hush-money conviction

Overview

Donald Trump continues to challenge his 2024 criminal conviction in Manhattan for falsifying business records related to payments made to Stormy Daniels.

Initially, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office sought to uphold the conviction against Trump’s arguments regarding presidential immunity and judicial recusal. The prosecution contended that the conduct was unofficial and non-presidential.

Subsequently, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected Trump’s third attempt to transfer the case to federal court. The judge ruled that the request was ‘neither new nor legally sufficient’ and that the president did not demonstrate ‘good cause and diligence.’ Hellerstein maintained that the felony conviction involves private conduct with no substantive relation to official presidential duties.
