A federal judge has dismissed former President Donald Trump’s attempt to move his hush-money case from state to federal court, upholding the original jurisdiction. The ruling follows legal arguments that the case should remain in New York state courts, where prosecutors allege violations of state election laws. Trump’s legal team had sought the transfer, citing potential conflicts of interest and broader implications for his presidency. The decision leaves the case proceeding under existing state legal proceedings.
