Judge Indicates NY Criminal Case Against Trump Will Stay in State Court

A federal judge in New York will likely deny Trump's attempt to move his criminal prosecution from state to federal court.
Trump faces 34 felony counts in New York for allegedly falsifying business records related to hush money payments.
Trump's lawyers argued the case should be in federal court because the conduct occurred while Trump was president, but the judge rejected this argument.
The judge stated there is no reason to believe the state court cannot provide equal justice.
If the judge rules as expected, the case will proceed to trial in New York state court on March 25, 2024.
