Former President Donald Trump has urged the Supreme Court to intervene in his hush money case in New York despite legal experts suggesting the likelihood of this happening soon, or at all, remaining low at this point.

Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president, made his long-shot call for Supreme Court intervention in a post Sunday on Truth Social, days after a Manhattan jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

However, most legal experts say Trump’s case must first navigate the New York state appeals process, which could take years under normal scheduling procedures. Only after exhausting state appeals can Trump petition the Supreme Court, which typically addresses matters of federal or constitutional law.

“Trump has a lot of arguments on appeal, but most of those are state arguments,” former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the Washington Examiner.

“The federal ones would have to really relate to a procedural or more likely a substantive due process. So, you know, things like a change of venue or the judge’s failure to disqualify himself on some of his daughter’s political activity, maybe he can make those arguments,” Rahmani said.
