President’s lawyers ask appeals court to toss criminal trial verdict over $130,000 sent to Stormy Daniels

Donald Trump’s legal team on Thursday continued efforts to get his 2024 conviction in the hush-money election corruption case thrown out.

Attorneys for the US president are trying to persuade a New York appeals court to toss the criminal trial verdict from May 2024, when Trump was found guilty on all charges of falsifying business records in the hush-money corruption scheme to influence his eventual victory in the 2016 presidential election.
