Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning called for the appeals court to “take over” the New York trial in which he’s accused of falsifying business records.

This week, the first witness in the so-called “hush-money” trial, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, gave testimony in the case. The former president is accused of falsifying business records to suppress negative allegations during the 2016 campaign, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
