A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in Trump’s bid to erase his hush money conviction
- President Donald Trump's appeal to overturn his May 2024 conviction for 34 felony counts related to hush money payments is set for a June 11, 2025 hearing in a federal appeals court in Manhattan.
- Following his March 2023 indictment, Trump's legal team sought to transfer the proceedings to a federal venue, claiming that presidential immunity and constitutional protections entitled him to be tried in federal court; however, lower courts denied these motions.
- The trial centered on payments Trump made before office to Stormy Daniels to conceal alleged affair allegations that could have affected the 2016 election, and a judge sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge on January 10, 2025.
- Trump's legal team contends the prosecution improperly included evidence about his presidential acts, while opponents say the charges involve his personal conduct unrelated to his office.
- If the appeals court denies Trump's request to move the case to federal court, he may pursue further review with the U.S. Supreme Court, continuing his efforts to erase the conviction.
