Donald Trump’s legal team from the prestigious law firm Sullivan & Cromwell has filed an appeal to overturn his hush-money criminal conviction, citing presidential immunity protections. This appeal, filed on October 28,

A panel of three judges sent the case back to a district court judge to address certain questions raised by the Supreme Court’s decision and determine whether Trump meets the threshold to be heard a second time.

The US Justice Department urged a New York state appeals court to reverse Donald Trump’s felony conviction, an extraordinary intervention by federal officials as the president seeks to clear his criminal record.

The decision kicks the case back to U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who in 2024 denied Trump’s second motion to remove the state case to federal court, in light of the last year’s U.S. Supreme Court decision broadening presidential immunity.

President Donald Trump sought to remove his status as the only felon to be elected president by appealing his conviction on 34 New York state charges just before midnight last Tuesday, arguing, in part, that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling giving the president broad immunity invalidated the conviction.

The 6-3 decision in favor of Donald Trump did more than halt the first-ever criminal prosecution of a former U.S. president, who was charged with the first-ever criminal conspiracy to unlawfully remain in power.

Prosecutors with the U.S. Department of Justice wrote that the United States has a substantial interest in protecting the power of the Office of the President.

An appeals court has ruled that the judge in Donald Trump's hush-money case in New York should reconsider whether the president should be immune to prosecution.
