In a latest development in the legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump, his legal team has officially filed a notice of appeal in his impending Manhattan criminal trial, court records show. With just a week remaining until the trial kicks off, tensions are high as both sides gear up for what promises to be a contentious legal battle.
While the specifics of the appeal paperwork are not immediately available, insider sources have disclosed that the appeals center around the contentious gag order placed on Trump, as well as the venue for the trial.
With the appeals court poised to hear arguments from Trump’s legal team and Manhattan prosecutors later today, anticipation mounts as to how this latest twist will impact the proceedings. However, Trump himself is not expected to make an appearance at this crucial juncture.
Notably, Trump’s lawyers have vociferously contested the gag order and have sought to relocate the trial from Manhattan, citing concerns over the borough’s predominantly Democratic demographic.
As the clock ticks down to the trial’s commencement on April 15, all eyes are on the unfolding legal drama, with the nation eagerly awaiting the outcome of this high-profile case.
Stay tuned for further updates on this rapidly evolving story.
