Trump sues Michael Cohen, a key witness in the NY criminal case, seeking $500 million

Donald Trump seeks to move NY criminal case to federal court

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyers have asked a federal court to take control of his New York City criminal case. They argued Thursday that the former president could not be tried in the state court where his historic indictment was brought because the alleged conduct occurred while he was in office.

“It’s really going to be unfortunate, because the whole purpose of these tax agreements was to create a fair playing field of on- and off-reserve sales taxes,” Bernard said.
