President Donald Trump's lawyers were chastized by a federal judge on Wednesday for trying to take "two bites at the apple" in the president's latest attempt to get his felony convictions thrown out.

In May 2024, Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying dozens of business records related to a hush money payment he gave to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair the two had years before. The payment occurred when Trump was running for president for the first time, leading prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office to conclude that the payments were part of a scheme to influence the election results.

In November, judges on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered New York federal judge Alvin K. Hellerstein to review the case again. On Wednesday, Trump's lawyers got an earful from Hellerstein, who accused them of trying to take "two bites at the apple," Politico reported.

Trump's lawyers argued that they waited to appeal the case to federal court to ensure they had exhausted their chances in state court. Hellerstein apparently had none of it, according to Politico.

“That is a decision on your part,” the judge added. “You didn’t have to do that. You could have come right to the federal court. Just by filing a notice of removal, there would be no sentencing.”

Hellerstein added that Trump's lawyers made a "choice," and "sought two bites at the apple.”

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
