Federal Judge Rejects Donald Trump’s Request to Intervene in Wake of Hush Money Conviction

A federal judge has denied Donald Trump’s request to intervene in the case against his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was convicted of making hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

In a ruling issued on [Date], Judge [Judge’s Name] rejected Trump’s motion to intervene, citing a lack of standing and insufficient evidence to support the former president’s claims.

Trump’s lawyers had argued that the former president had a vested interest in the case, as Cohen’s conviction could potentially implicate Trump in the hush money payments. However, the judge found that Trump’s claims were "speculative" and lacked any concrete evidence to support them.

The ruling is a significant blow to Trump’s efforts to distance himself from the scandal, which has dogged him throughout his presidency. The case has raised questions about Trump’s involvement in the payments, which were made to Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election.

Cohen, who was Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer, was convicted of making the payments and lying to Congress about them. He is currently serving a three-year prison sentence.

The case has sparked intense scrutiny of Trump’s business dealings and personal life, and has raised questions about his honesty and integrity.

  1. Should be a stipulation that every time Trump files another motion to dismiss based on the same arguments. His conviction date gets pushed another day early.

  2. >In a four-page ruling, Hellerstein wrote that nothing about the high court’s July 1 ruling affected his previous conclusion that hush money payments at issue in Trump’s case “were private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority.”

    He’s taking that ‘get out of jail free’ card he got and thinks he can use it with any other board game.

  3. >They also argued a Sept. 18 sentencing, about seven weeks before Election Day, would be election interference.

    Oh **now** they care about election interference.

  4. >Trump’s lawyers first asked the federal court to intervene last week, but their paperwork was kicked back because they hadn’t gotten the required clearance from Hellerstein to file it. Hours after they submitted papers Tuesday requesting Hellerstein’s permission to proceed, he issued his ruling denying it.

    Another lawyer that won’t be getting paid.
