Donald Trump Stung in New Legal Loss After Sentencing Request

Former President Donald Trump's efforts to pause his criminal sentencing in New York were struck down by a federal appeals court on Thursday.

In a one-page order, three judges on the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump's request for the court to order a stay on his hush money conviction until the appellate judges can hear arguments on whether the case should be moved to federal court.

The former president was convicted on 34 felony counts in May after a Manhattan jury found him guilty of falsifying business records to conceal his connection to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Daniels testified that the $130,000 payment was intended to keep her quiet about an extramarital affair she had with Trump years prior.

Trump had requested that the case be moved to a federal court back in August, citing the Supreme Court's ruling over the summer that found presidents are immune from facing criminal charges for actions they took under their official duty.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied that request in September, writing in his order that the case deals with "private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority." Trump then moved to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, asking that judges put Hellerstein's decision on hold until it considers his request to move the case.
