Donald Trump’s lawyers were back in court Wednesday to renew their push to dismiss the New York jury verdict that makes him the only person convicted of a felony to serve as president.

Trump was convicted last year in Manhattan state court of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to an adult film star. His lawyers argued to judges on the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals that the state case should be transferred to federal court.
