Trump In Cold Sweat as Federal Judge Rejects his Attempts to Wipe his 34 Felonies off the Books!!!
Summary
Michael Popok analyzes Judge Hellerstein’s ruling denying Donald Trump’s attempt to remove his New York felony conviction to federal court. The judge determined that hush money payments were private acts, not official presidential duties, thus excluding them from immunity. Popok highlights that Trump’s delayed motion, filed after sentencing, was rejected as an attempt to "play both sides" after exhausting state appeals. The episode concludes by criticizing the Trump legal team’s response as a political rant rather than a valid legal argument.
