A federal appeals court on Thursday revived President Donald Trump ’s effort to move his New York hush money conviction into federal court, reopening a pathway for Trump to wipe out his guilty verdict entirely.

In a unanimous ruling , a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit vacated a lower court decision that had twice rejected Trump’s request to shift the case. The judges wrote in a 28-page decision that they “cannot be confident” the trial court properly evaluated whether the Supreme Court’s 2024 presidential immunity ruling requires a closer look at evidence presented during the prosecution.
