Trump warned new 'Hail Mary' legal scheme is already doomed: 'They're gonna lose'

President Donald Trump's latest "Hail Mary" legal scheme is almost surely doomed to fail, according to one expert.

On Wednesday, Trump's lawyers filed a motion in New York federal court to remove Trump's 34 felony convictions to federal court. Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein expressed skepticism about the move because Trump's lawyers waited so long after his conviction, according to reports. He also noted the timing seemed conspicuous, given that the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting the president broad immunity before they filed the appeal.

Trump was convicted in 2024 on 34 felony counts for falsifying dozens of business records related to a hush money payment he gave former adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair they had before Trump ran for office the first time.

Michael Popok, a lawyer and host of the "The Intersection" podcast, discussed Trump's attempt to challenge his conviction in federal court in a new YouTube video.

"They're going to lose here," Popok said, adding that the move shows Trump's team believes there is a "federal defense" for the payoff.

"They're arguing on the Trump side, 'Oh, the election laws,'" Popok said. "... I just don't see how the defense works either, which is another ground to deny the removal. And if it denies the removal, the case stays in state court. And then Donald Trump's going to have to do a Hail Mary pass to the United States Supreme Court to get out from under his convictions."

"Ninety-nine percent of the conduct and activity that Donald Trump was convicted of happened before he put one foot into the White House," he added.

Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23

The post Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SAB adopts Chainlink’s CCIP and CRE to expand tokenization and cross-border finance tools. SAB and Wamid target $2.32T Saudi capital markets with blockchain-based tokenization plans. LINK price falls 2.43% to $22.99 despite higher trading volume and steady liquidity ratios. Saudi Awwal Bank has added Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to its digital strategy. CCIP links assets and data across multiple blockchains, while CRE provides banks with a controlled framework to test and deploy new financial applications. The lender, with more than $100 billion in assets, is applying the tools to tokenized assets, cross-border settlement, and automated credit platforms. The move signals that Chainlink’s infrastructure is being adopted at scale inside regulated finance.

The focus is on equities and debt products, opening the door for blockchain-based issuance and settlement. SAB has already executed the world’s first Islamic repo on distributed ledger technology, in collaboration with Oumla earlier this year. That transaction gave regulators a template for compliant on-chain contracts. The Wamid deal builds directly on that precedent, shifting from single-instrument pilots toward broader capital markets integration. Saudi Blockchain Buildout Gains Pace Saudi institutions are building multiple layers of digital infrastructure. Oumla is working with Avalanche to develop the Kingdom’s first domestically hosted Layer 1 blockchain. SAB’s Chainlink adoption adds an interoperability and execution layer on top. Together, these projects are shaping a domestic framework for tokenization, with global connectivity added only where liquidity requires it.
