US courts deny Trump's effort to overturn hush money conviction
A U.S. judge has, for the third time, rejected former President Donald Trump's request to have his conviction in the "hush money" case overturned. The case concerns falsification of business records and paying $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair during the 2016 campaign. The judge confirmed that Trump's request is legally unjustified and failed to present convincing reasons for a ruling of acquittal. This comes amid efforts to transfer the case from a New York court to a federal court in order to dismiss the charges or overturn the conviction. Trump is the first former U.S. president to be criminally charged, and he plans to appeal the verdict.
