Trump's legal team seeks to move hush money case to federal court.

Donald Trump's attorneys are seeking to move his criminal hush money case from New York state court to federal court. If unsuccessful, a trial date in February or March 2024 has been proposed. The Manhattan district attorney's office has proposed a protective order to prevent Trump from making public evidence in the case, citing concerns that he may misuse the materials. Trump's attorneys argue that the proposed order infringes on his right to free speech. Trump pleaded not guilty last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to his alleged role in hush money payments.
