"Trump formally appeals his New York hush money conviction


The appeal calls it the "most politically charged prosecution" in U.S. history.

New York's intermediate appellate court should overturn President Donald Trump's criminal hush money convictions because his trial was "fatally marred" by faulty evidence and overseen by a judge who should have recused himself, his attorneys argued in a court filing late Monday.

Trump's formal appeal, 17 months after a Manhattan jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts, asks the Appellate Division's First Department to reverse what his lawyers call the "most politically charged prosecution in our Nation's history."

Trump was found guilty in May 2024 after a six-week trial over what prosecutors called a scheme to conceal a $130,000 payment his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her from talking about a long-denied affair ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump reimbursed Cohen in monthly installments that prosecutors said amounted to falsified records."

No way this conviction survives the appeals process. The funny thing was the more the Dems used lawfare against Trump, the more popular he became.

Hilarious

Is just a baby thread to complain and whine.

Based on the evidence presented a JURY found him guilty.

 

[AntonToo]

I seriously doubt it. If he did, there’s a difference between stupid behavior and criminality.

I don’t believe his book entries were false or a coverup.

Yes.

You are a fool, nothing else to say here.

 

[White 6]

It's still a Democrat lawfare witch hunt that will not stand. Trump won in part because of Democrat lawfare-
Trump's arrest, the FBI raid on Trump's home, the bullshit NY hush money case, and the insane sex freak's NY civil lawsuit.
It didn't work.

Whine to somebody else. He brought it on himself, and literally everybody knows it whether it be about paying off to two different high end whores, while stepping out on his wife, falsifying tax records to state of New York, Bank fraud for over valuing properties, sitting on his ass while the mob he riled up and sent to the Capital, attacked Congress while in session and his own vice president, or stealing classified documents, hiding them and refusing to give them back to the National Archives.

Look, he's president, but that's it. It doesn't mean, nobody knows he is a piece of shit, or not going to prosecute or sue. Being a piece of shit, can be risky, but heck, he gets the good with the bad, and he never had to make the decisions, or take the actions that got him into trouble. So, it's all on him.

So, whine to somebody that givesashit.

It's the Dems' turn now. Comey and James are just the beginning. They brought it upon themselves.

 

[DonGlock26]

So it's ok that he was entering false bussiness records to conceal campaign contributions, Democrats are at fault here...right? It's not a like it's a crime provable in a court of law in NY or anything.

Has it ever occured to you that Trump may have some culpability by doing all these shitty, immoral, self-absorbed things that land him in all the legal problems?

I'm not buying your Democrat lawfare narrative.

On to the appeals.

I would have found him guilty

Explain how?

Explain how 1000s of classified documents got to Florida?

Explain why Paul manafort passed campaign information to Russian operatives.

Explain payments to Stormy Daniels.

 

[AntonToo]

I'm not buying your Democrat lawfare narrative.

You can say whatever you want about buying, but you know he is self-absorbed law breaking piece of crap who will never admit anything.

He will be lying about everything from his election loss, to civil judgements, to crimnal indictments and convictions until his grave, will never own up to or take responsibility for anything.

 

[BackAgain]

You are a fool, nothing else to say here.

You are the fool.

And nobody cares what you do or don’t say? You’re just another shitlib.

I would have found him guilty

Yeah. **** that whole “evidence” stuff.

I'm more interested in the appeals court drop kicking that conviction out of court.

All the Dems' lawfare failed. He's your president again.

No one cares.

Comey and the James woman will be fine. It would not surprise if attorney fees, did not end up being their problem. Those prosecutions are just a sideshow.

 

[Rawley]

Maybe he should not have paid the hush money to the women he was cheating on his wife with. If he wasn't a low moral piece of shit, he would not have run afoul of the Laws of New York.

He really is a dope. It did not even keep them quiet, so everybody found out what a scumbag he was, anyway.

Back ON topic:

For those interested, here is a link to the TEXT of the appeal filed on behalf of President Trump.

It’s “only” about 96 pages. I guess that’s why it’s called a “brief.”
