U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that the former president had not satisfied the burden of proof required for a federal court to take control of the case from the state court where it was tried
Former U.S. president Donald Trump awaits the start of proceedings on the second day of jury selection at Manhattan criminal court, April 16, in New York.A federal judge on Tuesday rejected Donald Trump’s request to intervene in his New York hush money criminal case, thwarting the former president’s latest bid to overturn his felony conviction and delay his sentencing.
Prosecutors urged the trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, not to delay his rulings on two key defense requests: Trump’s call to delay sentencing until after the November election, and his bid to overturn the verdict and dismiss the case in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling. Falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years behind bars. Other potential sentences include probation or a fine.
They also argued that sentencing Trump on Sept. 18, about seven weeks before Election Day would be election interference, raising the specter that Trump could be sent to jail as early voting is getting under way. If the case is moved to federal court, Trump’s lawyers said they will then seek to have the verdict overturned and the case dismissed on immunity grounds.
