Appeals court revives Trump's effort to remove hush money case to federal court

Source: ABC News

A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered a lower court to take another look at whether President Donald Trump's criminal hush money prosecution in Manhattan deserved to be heard in federal court.

After Trump was convicted last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, he sought to move the case into federal court from state court due to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling last year granting the president immunity for official acts.

U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied the request, concluding that Trump failed to show good cause for move after the jury had rendered its verdict.

On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Hellerstein to revisit his ruling.

Clean up all their human errors and frailties.
And if they have committed crimes, those get overlooked.

But we shall see if St Donnie gets white and sane washed.
Or if he is held accountable.

We are not yet at the end of this insane movie we are watching/living.

I don't like this result, but how is it judge shopping?
It was an appeal, assigned to a three judge panel made up of judges appointed by Obama and Biden. And they sent the case back to the judge that originally ruled against Trump.
