Donald Trump seeks to erase felony record with hush money conviction appeal

Hindustan Times  

President Donald Trump has appealed his hush money conviction, seeking to erase the verdict that made him the first person with a criminal record to win the office. Trump’s lawyers filed a notice of appeal Wednesday, asking the state’s mid-level appeals court to overturn his conviction last May on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The case, involving an alleged scheme to hide a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 Republican campaign, was the only one of his criminal cases to go to trial. Trump hired a new legal team from the firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP to handle the appeal, spearheaded by the firm’s co-chair Robert J. Giuffra Jr. Giuffra and four other lawyers from his firm stepped in after the president tabbed his two main defense lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, for top positions in his administration’s Justice Department. Appearing by video at his sentencing, he called the case a “political witch hunt,” “a weaponization of government” and “an embarrassment to New York.” A Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump last May of falsifying business records kept in the gilded halls of his eponymous real estate empire.
