“A day after a federal judge denied his request to move his state hush-money and election-interference case to a federal court, Donald Trump asked for the denial to be put on hold amid appeal. Trump, the former president and current GOP presidential nominee, was convicted in May on all 34 counts for doctoring business records to hide hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels in order to hide their alleged affair from the voting public in the run up to the 2016 election. He is to be sentenced Sept. 18. Twice Trump has sought to move the case from state to federal court with the latest rejection coming down Tuesday. On Wednesday, his attorney’s filed a memorandum seeking a stay on Tuesday’s denial as he appeals it, a move that, if approved by the district judge, would seemingly delay his sentencing.” (09/05/24)
