Trump's legal battles continue with mixed results in hush money case.
A federal judge in New York has set a hearing for June 27 to consider whether former President Donald Trump should be allowed to move his criminal case from State Supreme Court in Manhattan to federal court. Trump has pleaded not guilty to a 34-count indictment charging him with falsifying business records related to a hush payment to adult film actress Story Daniels in the closing weeks of the 2016 campaign. Trump's attorneys sought to move the case to federal court "because the case involves important federal questions since the indictment charges President Trump for conduct committed while he was president of the United States that was within the 'color of his office' and the charges involve alleged federal and state election law violations that have a federal preemption defense."
