A federal appeals court on Thursday said Donald Trump deserves another chance to show his New York state hush money criminal case belonged in federal court, providing a fresh opportunity for the U.S. president to try to erase his conviction.
Trump has argued that presidents are immune from prosecution over their official acts.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said a federal district judge should have more closely reviewed whether a 2024 Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity meant some evidence at Trump’s criminal trial should have been excluded.
