An appeals court panel took up President Trump’s bid to fight his hush money criminal conviction in federal court Wednesday, acknowledging the extraordinary prosecution coupled with the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision breaks new ground.

President Donald Trump's Justice Department is not happy with Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan's legal defense in their criminal case against her. According to The New York Times, prosecutors rejected her claim that she has immunity for acts carried out in her official capacity — an argument for which Dugan cited the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v.

The Big Law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is arguing that additional appeals for Trump's hush-money convictions should be heard in federal court.

Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge accused of impeding government agents during an immigration bust, is seeking to have federal obstruction charges against her dismissed. The post Judge charged with obstructing ICE says SCOTUS ‘presidential immunity’ ruling for Trump ‘did the same for judicial immunity’ and ‘bars’ prosecution first appeared on Law & Crime.
