Trump fights to move hush money case to federal court amid political accusations.
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's lawyers have requested that his trial in the hush money case be moved from state to federal court, claiming that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is "politically motivated" to seek an indictment. Bragg has asked the state judge to bar Trump from publicly discussing evidence in the matter. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in a scheme to bury negative stories ahead of the 2016 presidential election, violating state and federal election laws. If the transfer request is rejected, the trial is expected to take place in February or March.
