      Trump Trials update for 06-25-2025
      Jun 25 2025
      It’s been another whirlwind week in the courts when it comes to Donald Trump and his ongoing legal battles. The spotlight right now is on his criminal conviction out of New York, the so-called hush money case that’s become a fixture in headlines for more than a year. Let’s get right into it: Trump, who was found guilty last year on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, is now pressing hard to have that conviction erased. Just this month, his legal team was back before a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan. Their main argument is that the case should never have been handled by a state court in the first place. They’re relying on an old, rarely used statute to try and move the whole thing to federal court—hoping that a federal bench might be more favorable, or at least that the whole process could get bogged down in even more appeals.

      Trump himself was not present for the hearing. But he’s been anything but silent, maintaining through virtual appearances and statements to the press that he’s innocent, and that the legal system has treated him unfairly from the start. Worth noting, though: ten days before Trump was sworn in for his second term, he was sentenced in New York. The judge gave what’s known as an unconditional discharge—so no fines, no jail time, but the conviction remains on his record. The rationale from the court was clear; any harsher punishment would encroach on the presidency, and that’s something the courts are entering with extreme caution.

      These aren’t the only courtroom dramas involving Trump right now. A recent case at the Supreme Court saw his administration win a pair of crucial victories related to government data and access. On top of that, just this week, the Trump administration accused a district court of openly defying a Supreme Court order over the deportation of immigrants—a stark sign of just how fraught and contentious the legal landscape remains around anything Trump touches, even as president again.

      Legal scholars say that the strategy his attorneys are using in the appeal, especially trying to broaden the reach of the Federal Officer Removal Statute, could have consequences far beyond just Trump, potentially shifting how future presidents and federal officials are treated in the courts.

      With all these moving parts, from hearings in Manhattan to wrangling at the Supreme Court and legal fights over immigration policy, the Trump legal saga continues to evolve at a dizzying pace. Thanks for tuning in and following along as we track these developments. Make sure to join us next week for more updates on the court cases and political headlines that are shaping the nation.

      Trump Trials update for 06-23-2025
      Jun 23 2025
      The past few days have been a whirlwind in the world of Donald Trump’s ongoing legal battles. Just recently, intense focus was back in a Manhattan federal appeals court. Trump’s attorneys were there, still fighting to overturn the criminal conviction he picked up last year in New York State Supreme Court. That conviction, stemming from his hush money case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels, resulted in Trump being found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a payment. This was the very case that forced the nation’s attention back onto courtroom drama just as Trump was settling into his second presidential term.

      Here’s the extraordinary part: even though the jury found Trump guilty, the sentence handed down—just ten days before he was sworn in again—was what’s known as an unconditional discharge. That meant no prison, no fines, not even probation. The conviction, though, remains firmly on Trump’s record. In his sentencing, Trump appeared only via video, stating bluntly, “I was treated very, very unfairly.” He’s maintained his innocence throughout and has vowed at every turn to keep appealing the case.

      This past week’s hearing in Manhattan was the latest round in that fight. Trump’s legal team is arguing that the entire case should actually be moved out of state court and into federal court—a technical move based on a fairly obscure law. Legal experts say it’s a long shot, but as always with Trump’s legal strategies, it’s about testing every possible avenue.

      But the New York criminal case isn’t the only courtroom battleground for Trump’s circle right now. Appeals are still pending in the New York civil fraud case, where Attorney General Letitia James secured a major judgment against Trump and his business empire last year. Those appeals have been consolidated and will be reviewed together by the Appellate Division. Meanwhile, over in Georgia, several of Trump’s allies—including Mark Meadows—are petitioning higher courts in their own efforts to shift criminal proceedings to federal court or to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting them.

      And let’s not forget the lingering fallout from the former classified documents case in Florida. While Trump got the indictment dismissed on procedural grounds, federal prosecutors immediately appealed, keeping another high-profile case on the calendar.

      The legal calendar for Donald Trump is crowded, and courtroom developments are coming fast. The only certainty is that, no matter the outcome of this latest appeal, Donald Trump’s entanglement with America’s courts will remain center stage for months to come.

      Trump Trials update for 06-22-2025
      Jun 22 2025
      It’s been another whirlwind of courtroom drama surrounding Donald Trump as we near the end of June 2025. Just this past week, all eyes turned to a federal appeals court in Manhattan, where Trump’s legal team pressed forward in their mission to overturn his criminal conviction in the closely watched hush money case. The legal maneuvering is the latest chapter in a saga that, despite spanning years, is still unfolding with remarkable intensity.

      Trump was convicted last year in the New York State Supreme Court. A jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. These charges stemmed from payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, intended to keep her silent during his presidential campaign. What made this particular sentencing so extraordinary was not just the gravity of convicting a former president, but the unprecedented timing: Trump was sentenced just ten days before being sworn in for his second term. The judge, navigating uncharted waters, issued an unconditional discharge. Essentially, Trump faced no fines, no prison term, and no other penalties—a decision crafted specifically to avoid interfering with the duties of the sitting president. Yet the conviction itself remains firmly on his record.

      Despite not appearing in court for this latest hearing, Trump’s presence loomed large. In a video statement at his sentencing in January, he insisted he was treated unfairly and reiterated his claim of innocence. He has consistently vowed to fight the conviction, launching a series of appeals. The current legal strategy centers on shifting the conviction from state to federal jurisdiction, with his lawyers arguing that the case should never have been tried in state court. Legal experts are skeptical, however. According to those closely watching the process, this appeal leans on an outdated law and has little chance of succeeding. The federal appeals judges, for their part, have given no indication they are inclined to rule in Trump’s favor. Much of the legal community sees this as a long shot intended to delay the final outcome.

      With Trump’s legal future still uncertain and the appeals process grinding forward, the nation finds itself watching—and waiting. His efforts to erase the historic conviction have so far yielded little, but the stakes remain incredibly high, both for the former president and for the country’s legal and political landscape.
