Trump's Federal Immunity Bid Blocked Again | New York City News

Trump’s latest bid to overturn his state felony conviction by moving it to federal court—based on presidential immunity—hit another dead end. Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, who has already rejected this same strategy twice, slammed Trump for lacking “good cause” and being unduly dilatory. This move comes after Trump’s May 2024 conviction, making him the first former and current president to be convicted of a felony. While his appeal continues through state courts, this federal attempt was a separate gambit—and it failed again, with the judge calling it a “two bites at the apple” maneuver. The state conviction remains intact for now, and Trump’s immunity argument continues to stall in federal court. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
