CBSN
An attorney for former President Donald Trump said Thursday he will seek to move Trump's criminal case from a state court in Manhattan to federal court.
The attorney, Todd Blanche, told New York Judge Juan Merchan that "the defense anticipates later today seeking removal of this case to federal court." He did not specify the reasoning behind the request.
Trump did not attend the hearing, which came one month after he was arraigned, on April 4, and became the first former president in U.S. history to be charged with crimes. Trump entered a not guilty plea to 34 felony counts of falsification of business records.
