Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are again asking a federal court to intervene in his New York criminal case ahead of sentencing next month, arguing that the prosecution is unconstitutional and runs afoul of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent presidential immunity ruling.
In a filing with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Aug. 29, lawyers for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential candidate argued the case should be moved to federal court to afford him an “unbiased forum, free from local hostilities, where he can seek redress for these Constitutional violations.”
