A U.S. federal judge again rejected Donald Trump's attempt to overturn his conviction for paying hush money, denying today the request to transfer the case to a federal court and dismiss it based on presidential immunity.
Trump's defense argued that the case should be transferred to federal jurisdiction and subsequently dismissed, invoking the principle of presidential immunity.
The federal judge decided to uphold the conviction and not accept the grounds presented by the former president's defense.
The case concerns the payment of hush money to a pornographic actress during Trump's presidential campaign.
