Trump has been hit with countless legal battles. He’s ready to put a stop to them once and for all.
And Donald Trump begs a court to overturn a case that has damaging consequences.
President Donald Trump is striking back hard against the Manhattan hush money farce, demanding a New York appeals court toss out his bogus felony conviction. His legal warriors argue the whole trial was poisoned from the start because prosecutors dragged in evidence from his time as president,.
In a hefty 96-page blast filed on Monday, Trump’s team slammed the lower court for ignoring that Supreme Court ruling, which flat-out “bars the ‘use of evidence about’ a President’s official acts while in office.” They also ripped into the district attorney’s wild scheme to turn a nothing-burger into a felony and called out the judge for sitting on the case despite his cozy ties to Democrats through political donations, according to Politico.
Trump’s spokesmen didn’t hold back, firing off a statement that was shared with The Daily Wire that nails the Deep State nonsense:
“President Trump’s legal team filed a powerhouse appeal in the Manhattan DA’s Witch Hunt, as the President continues his fight to put an end to the Radical Democrat Lawfare once and for all.” They hammered home how the Supreme Court’s landmark immunity decision, along with federal and state constitutions, demands this sham get dumped fast.
Victory here would wipe away Trump’s label as a convicted felon, handed down by a Manhattan jury on 34 counts of so-called business fraud. This witch hunt sprang from Democrat Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, with Judge Juan Merchan presiding—the same guy who funneled cash to Dem causes, even Joe Biden’s 2020 run.
The trial crashed right into the heart of Trump’s 2024 White House bid, culminating in that May 30, 2024, guilty verdict that made him the first ex-president nailed with felonies. It’s no coincidence this hit when Trump was surging in the polls, exposing the left’s desperation to derail him.
Right from the jump, the filing calls it out: “This is the most politically charged prosecution in our Nation’s history.” It blasts how after years of digging up dirt on ancient, groundless claims, and facing heat to nail Trump, New York’s DA cooked up felony charges against a former—and now current—President.
At the core, this mess traces back to Trump’s 2016 payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, aimed at silencing her claims of a 2006 fling. Trump has always shot down any affair talk, calling it pure fiction designed to smear him.
Trump’s lawyers zeroed in on how prosecutors shouldn’t have touched White House chats between Trump and his ex-communications chief, Hope Hicks. They subpoenaed her to spill on Oval Office talks, including how Trump wanted the team to handle a looming Wall Street Journal piece.
The defense fought tooth and nail to block that evidence, but Judge Merchan waved it through. Then, bam—weeks later, the Supreme Court drops its immunity bombshell in Trump v. United States, proving the judge got it dead wrong.
Trump’s crew laid it out crystal clear: “The trial court erroneously held that President Trump’s communications with Hicks were not official because, in the court’s view, they were ‘about personal matters involving an alleged affair and a sexual encounter that occurred prior to [President Trump] taking . . . office.’” This immunity breach alone should sink the whole conviction.
Beyond that, the appeal torches the DA’s twisted logic in elevating misdemeanor paperwork to felony status, all to target Trump. It’s classic lawfare, weaponizing the courts against political foes while real crooks walk free in Democrat-run cities.
Trump’s fight isn’t just for himself—it’s a battle for every American tired of two-tiered justice. As his team put it, this appeal draws on ironclad precedents to crush the hoax and let Trump charge ahead with his Make America Great Again agenda.
Skeptics might downplay it, but this move exposes the rot in New York’s justice system, rigged by partisan hacks like Bragg and Merchan. Their Dem donations scream conflict, yet they plowed ahead, ignoring calls for recusal.
With the Supreme Court’s backing, Trump’s odds look strong to flip this script. Erasing the conviction would supercharge his momentum, proving once again that no witch hunt can keep him down.
In the end, this appeal isn’t just legal nitpicking—it’s a rallying cry against the elite’s endless assaults on the people’s choice.
Trump keeps winning these rounds, showing why he’s the fighter America needs right now.
