In a surprising move, former President Donald J. Trump is looking to transfer his criminal case from New York State Supreme Court to federal court. This unexpected request will only be granted if a federal judge gives the green light, removing the case from its current jurisdiction. Trump's legal team announced this plan on Thursday, nearly a month after the former president stood accused of 34 felonies in Manhattan. These charges stem from allegations of falsifying documents to cover up a sex scandal.

In response to the allegations, Mr. Trump is now planning to request a change in the court where his case will be heard. His legal team, headed by attorney Todd Blanche, will be seeking to submit a notice of removal in federal court in Manhattan. The decision will then fall to a judge, who will consider if the case should be moved from state court to federal court. This disclosure came during an unrelated hearing on Trump's criminal case, held in state court.

The Manhattan district attorney's office is handling the prosecution of Mr. Trump and has pushed for restrictions on his access to the evidence. This includes limiting how the former president can speak about the details of the evidence. However, it should be noted that Trump's attempt to move the case to federal court will not immediately impact the state case. The federal judge may outright deny the request, or order a hearing to be held on the matter, but the state case will remain unchanged for the time being.
