Trump Pushes to Move Hush-Money Case to Federal Court in Manhattan

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's attorneys have informed the judge that they will try to move the criminal case brought by the Manhattan district attorney's office into federal court. The judge has asked both sides to agree to a trial date in either February or March 2024, meaning Trump's criminal trial would occur in the thick of his third campaign for president. The judge will impose an order to prevent Trump from attacking individuals associated with the case or speaking about specific evidence obtained through discovery, but said he would not stop Trump from speaking generally about the case.
