Legal counsel for Donald Trump filed another motion to move the criminal investigation out of Manhattan and into federal court. Trump's lawyers blasted the 'political motivation' of ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg to 'wrongfully prosecute' the former president.
Trump's lawyers blasted the"political motivation" of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to"wrongfully prosecute" the former president, who is charged with 33 counts of falsifying business records.His legal team argued that the alleged crimes"took place while the president was in office" and that the Manhattan district attorney's office is"deceptively mischaracterizing and ignoring the applicable facts and body of law.
The defense attorneys and prosecutors have filed dueling motions over where to try Trump's case. Prosecutors argue that Trump's alleged criminal misconduct had nothing to do with his job as president. However, Trump's team argues that the payments to his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, were paid in part to retain Cohen's services for when Trump became president.

Despite serious legal threat, Trump turns day in court into a campaign eventDonald Trump’s four years in the White House were punctuated by the spectacle and attempts at showmanship he cultivated from years as a tabloid fixture and reality star. Trump’s history-making appearance Tuesday as a criminal defendant in a Florida federal court was no different. The former commander in chief, accused of being careless with some of the country’s most sensitive secrets and obstructing authorities as they tried to recover the documents, pleaded not guilty to 37 charges. But Trump, who is seeking a return to the White House in 2024, treated the day like a campaign event, even as he faces serious threats to his political ambitions and his freedom.
