Former President Donald Trump has requested a federal court to take over his New York hush money case, aiming to overturn his felony conviction and delay his sentencing. Trump's lawyers argue that his prosecution in state court violated his constitutional rights and that moving the case to federal court would provide an unbiased forum. If the transfer is successful, they plan to seek dismissal of the case on immunity grounds. The sentencing is scheduled for September 18, close to the 2024 election.
