Trump's attorneys seek to move Manhattan criminal case to federal court.

Former President Donald Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, said he will seek to move Trump's criminal case from a state court in Manhattan to federal court. Trump did not attend the hearing, which came one month after he was arraigned and became the first former president in U.S. history to be charged with crimes. Trump entered a not guilty plea to 34 felony counts of falsification of business records. The judge also asked the two sides to confer on a trial date in either February or March of 2024, pushing back the timeline he initially indicated on April 4, when he said it would be in January.
