- On May 30, 2024, Trump was convicted on charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of covering up a payment to a porn star for her silence about a sexual encounter she says she had with him, which he denies.
- A judge on January 10 sentenced him to unconditional discharge - meaning no jail or any other punishment.
- On January 29, Trump's lawyers formally notified a New York state court of Trump's intent to appeal his criminal conviction, and Trump is trying to move the case to federal court, where he could seek to have it dismissed altogether on the basis that jurors at his trial saw evidence of acts from his first term as president.
- The U.S. Supreme Court last July found that U.S. presidents have broad immunity from prosecution over official acts.
- In March, the DOJ urged the 2nd Circuit to overturn a lower court ruling that the case belonged in state court because the case concerned personal conduct, not official acts. The Manhattan DA's office argued that the DOJ had not explained how the federal government's interest in the matter had changed aside from the fact that the defendant is "now the head of the Executive Branch that is seeking to support his position in this private criminal matter."
- The 2nd Circuit will hear arguments from both sides beginning at 10 a.m. ET.
