A federal judge on Friday rejected President Trump’s latest bid to fight his criminal conviction outside of New York’s state courts, a strategy aimed at citing presidential immunity, under which Trump could potentially toss charges that stem from a 2016 hush money payment in the trash can. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein has denied Trump’s attempts to move to federal court three [...]
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that Trump's arguments for removing the case were “neither new nor legally sufficient,” rejecting his claim that presidential immunity protected the conduct underlying the conviction.

Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein stood by his earlier ruling against Trump, finding that the reasons Trump cited for renewing his request were "neither new nor legally sufficient."
The court rejected Trump’s third attempt to move the case to federal court, where the president believes he would benefit from broader protection from prosecution.
A federal judge again declined to erase President Trump 's hush money conviction on Friday, noting that the president's arguments were "neither new nor legally sufficient." Why it matters: The loss is another blow to the president, who has sought to get the conviction of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled presidents have immunity for "official acts." What they're saying: "There is no way that discussions regarding hush money payments to cover up the President's relations with Stormy Daniels could be an official act," Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote in a 35-page filing published Friday. Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
