President Donald Trump is seeking to erase his 34-count criminal conviction despite facing no sentence for his crimes, as the president and his attorneys will ask a federal appeals court Wednesday to have the “hush money” case moved to federal court—which would make it easier to have the conviction thrown out.

The Republican is asking the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to intervene after a lower-court judge twice rejected the move. As part of the request, Trump wants the federal appeals court to seize control of the criminal case and then ultimately decide his appeal of the verdict, which is now pending in a state appellate court.

A federal appeals court ruled Trump can continue to collect tariffs while businesses and states try to overturn taxes on foreign imports.
