Appeals Court Hears Trump’s Bid to Remove Business Records Case to Federal Court

An appeals court on June 11 weighed President Donald Trump’s request to move his business records criminal case to federal court, potentially opening the door to tossing his conviction from last year.

The oral argument came roughly a year after a jury found Trump guilty in state court on multiple counts of falsifying business records. Trump has maintained his innocence and argued the prosecution had multiple flaws, including using evidence of conduct protected by presidential immunity.
