This will be an interesting election year.... an di mean interesting as in the ancient Chinese cuyrse, "May you live in interesting times".
One (NY) Federal Disctrict Court. (Why even bother to mention State Courts ?)
Appeals are eminently familiar to Trump
It is mentioned because he is being charged under State, not Federal laws. However, any evidence that comes out and becomes a part of public record is accessible to Federal law officers.
@snytiger6 Yes, that's right (kinda in reverse). If he prevails in federal court, he can still lose in State court.
