A federal judge for the second time put the kibosh on Donald Trumps attempt to remove his hush-money case from New York state court, but before the day was done on Tuesday lawyers for the former president filed their notice of appeal.
Notice is hereby given that President Donald J. Trump, the above-captioned defendant, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, said the notice submitted by Emil Bove and Todd Blanche, challenging Senior U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellersteins refusal.
Last Thursday, the defense filed their removal notice in the hopes of shutting down a Sept. 18 sentencing date, vacating Trumps 34 falsification of business records guilty verdicts, and potentially setting the stage for dismissing the state prosecution in federal court, based on the Supreme Courts immunity ruling in Trump v. United States and Manhattan DA Alvin Braggs (D) use of official acts evidence, including tweets, at trial.
The removal notice came a couple of weeks after acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for the third time declined to recuse himself from the case. The defense argued that asserted conflicts and appearances of impropriety, including the judges criticism of Trumps use of Twitter in a 2019 conversation with his daughter, a political consultant for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign and other Democrats, made it inappropriate for Merchan to decide ahead of sentencing whether 2018 Tweets were official acts under Trump v. United States.

Judges referring to him as Mr have him throwing ketchup, Im sure. And as you said, hes not in office, so hes not eligible to be called that. Former pResident is all he should and is entitled to get at best. IMO, Mr Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent is more than sufficient honor for him.
