On June 11, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on Trump\u2019s bid to move the case to federal court. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg opposes, citing the post-conviction timing. Trump\u2019s legal team insists that prosecuting a former and current president should fall under federal jurisdiction. Found guilty on 34 felony counts, Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge by Judge Juan Merchan. Bragg responded firmly: \u201cThe jury has spoken.\u201d Trump continues to fight the historic conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en33.usnews.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%87%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95-2025-05-31-115216.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13199\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During his sentencing, Donald Trump declared, \u201cI won the election in a massive landslide,\u201d calling the case a \u201cweaponization of government.\u201d He maintains his innocence, arguing his conviction relied on protected presidential acts, including tweets and official testimony. His defense claims the Supreme Court\u2019s later ruling on presidential immunity would\u2019ve barred key evidence. That argument was rejected by multiple courts. Trump\u2019s former lawyers now hold senior DOJ positions, and he\u2019s since hired Sullivan &amp; Cromwell for his appeal. The DOJ submitted a brief supporting dismissal, citing the immunity ruling. Trump frames his legal battles as politically driven and awaits the public\u2019s verdict on November 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=62039\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clck.mgid.com\/ghits\/23618842\/i\/58055059\/0\/pp\/1\/9?h=U0f0paJzZpPrvrFr5YGvW2BsX9qKV0LzQNqSB-BeFvAGxDJfUWSNJfJhR-59AmNewW5boqQLa-DJwg53QWwvxWkNPndx-Y9TdNcnfBCGETI*&amp;rid=6e98086a-3ea6-11f0-b645-d404e677c390&amp;ts=l.facebook.com&amp;tt=Social&amp;att=1&amp;cpm=1&amp;iv=17&amp;ct=6&amp;gdprApplies=0&amp;st=60&amp;mp4=1&amp;h2=mn5-oVESg__W-kcfkonFrDfgMpasweY8ZauMlfQj_KDSZW8PSARhVMyvBRYE3MRq&amp;crst=1748754569&amp;wrst=1748754568&amp;muid=o9mCzyQnw1W4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year after being convicted for falsifying business records tied to a hush money scheme, Donald Trump remains locked in a fierce legal battle.
