The Trump Docket: The ‘tremendous and unwarranted arrogance’ at the center of Trump’s motion to dismiss hush-money conviction

Following a judge’s swift refusal to remove Donald Trump’s hush-money case from New York state court to federal court, lawyers for the former president are simultaneously asking that judge to halt his denial pending appeal and asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to, essentially, save his trial judge from himself by ensuring that there will be no “unlawful incarceration” before the 2024 election.

One week ago, the defense filed an removal notice in the hopes of, at least, pushing back the Sept. 18 sentencing date that acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan set for Trump’s 34 falsification of business records guilty verdicts, and, at most, laying the groundwork for dismissing the state prosecution in federal court — based on the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in Trump v. United States and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s (D) use of “official acts” evidence, including tweets, at trial.
