Trump vows ‘powerful appeal’ after another federal court rejects hush money case

A federal court has once again rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to transfer his New York hush money conviction to a federal court. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that the renewed transfer bid was filed too late. This decision represents a setback for Trump, as it limits his ability to pursue presidential immunity arguments outside the state appeals process. The court's ruling ensures the already-decided criminal case remains within the New York state judicial system.
