Trump appeals 2024 NY hush money conviction, citing political bias and legal errors.

Donald Trump has appealed his 2024 New York hush money conviction on 34 felony counts, arguing the trial was politically motivated and legally flawed. His legal team claims the prosecution improperly used presidential conduct as evidence, relied on a strained interpretation of New York law, and admitted inadmissible evidence, including communications from Trump’s Twitter account. They also challenge Judge Juan Merchan’s impartiality and cite a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The appeal, filed on October 28, 2025, seeks to overturn the verdict, calling the case unprecedented in its political context.
