Lawyers for Donald Trump are asking judges to overturn his 2024 criminal conviction in the hush money case, ABC News reported. According to that report, the effort comes two and a half years after a jury convicted Trump of 34 felony counts in the case.

ABC News said judges will hear the appeal, and CBS News reported that Trump's lawyers will argue it. CBS News said Trump was convicted in 2024 of 34 felonies tied to a 2016 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

ABC News and CBS News agree on the central facts, including the 2024 conviction and the count of 34 felonies. They differ in emphasis. ABC News framed the matter as a request to have the verdict overturned, while CBS News framed it as a hearing at which Trump's lawyers will present arguments. Neither summary identifies the court that will hear the appeal or gives a date for the arguments.

The reports differ on detail as well. CBS News named the 2016 payment and the adult film star Stormy Daniels, while the ABC News summary mentions neither. CBS News described Trump as president, and ABC News referred to the president's lawyers.

The summaries available for this story from ABC News and CBS News do not describe comments from the court, prosecutors, or Trump's legal team. They also do not describe the grounds for the appeal, so the basis for the request to overturn the verdict is not stated in the material reviewed for this report.
