@news.usa67: Judge Rejects Trump's Bid to Overturn Conviction in Stormy Daniels Case A federal judge again denied President Trump's request to move his New York hush money case to federal court, a move that could have made it easier to overturn his conviction. The case dates back to 2016, when Trump allegedly paid $130,000 to actress Stormy Daniels through his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to stay silent about an alleged affair, just before the presidential election. In 2024, a New York jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records, making him the first president in U.S. history convicted of a felony. Judge Alvin Hellerstein wrote in his ruling: "An extramarital affair, or the cover up of an extramarital affair, does not fall within the president's official responsibilities." Trump has appealed the decision, with his legal team calling it a "witch hunt." #breakingnews #usnews #unitedstates
