U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein swiftly rejected Donald Trump's attempt to move his New York hush money case to federal court, maintaining that the conviction relates to private behaviors.
Hellerstein highlighted that Trump's defense did not convincingly demonstrate a necessity for changing jurisdiction and reiterated that the case revolves around personal, not official acts.
In his ruling, Hellerstein noted that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity does not impact his prior decisions about Trump's hush money payments, which are considered private matters.
While Trump's legal team has expressed continuous determination to shift the case to federal court, Judge Hellerstein affirmed he does not have the jurisdiction to assess complaints about the New York trial.
