Trump Faces Legal Setbacks in Hush Money and Election Interference Cases

Federal judge denies Trump's bid to move hush money case to federal court; Trump plans to plead not guilty in revised election interference case.

• Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that hush money payments were private actions, not protected by presidential immunity.
• Trump's legal team argued unsuccessfully that the New York trial was biased and should be moved to federal court.
• Trump will be sentenced on September 18 for falsifying business records related to hush money payments.
• In a separate case, Trump will plead not guilty to revised federal charges of election interference.
• The revised indictment removes charges linked to official presidential acts, following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
