And what federal issue might that be?
Federal issue or no, as long as Trump has a right of appeal within the state court system (and he does), SCOTUS can't touch the case.
You need to hunt the SCOTUS end yourself in the meantime happy reading...at least to the bolded red. And dont dare vcame back saying this does not cut it.... Nothing in that case cut anything

The New York State “Hush Money” Case
DATE INDICTED March 30, 2023
SCHEDULED TRIAL DATE The trial was scheduled to begin on March 25, 2024, but was moved to April 15.
COURT New York State Supreme Court
JUDGE OVERSEEING New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan
PERSON LEADING THE INVESTIGATION Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg
CHARGES 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree
WHAT IS THE CASE ABOUT? A grand jury voted to indict Trump, making him the first former U.S. president to be criminally charged and marking the beginning of a series of indictments against the former president.
The indictment accuses Trump of falsifying business records in connection to a payment made during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who had threatened to reveal what she said was a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. The case alleges that Daniels was paid $130,000 by Trump’s personal lawyer
Michael Cohen in October 2016 in exchange for her silence. According to prosecutors, Trump then reimbursed Cohen in installment payments through his company, the Trump Organization, under a false retainer agreement after he won the presidency. In addition to the “hush money” payments made to Daniels, Trump is also charged in connection with payments made to Playboy model Karen McDougal and a doorman to prevent scandals from circulating during the 2016 campaign period.
In New York, falsifying business records counts as a felony, rather than a misdemeanor, only if the defendant had an intent of committing or concealing a separate underlying crime. The Manhattan district office charged the former president with a low-level felony, which carries a maximum of four years in prison for each count.
The indictment alleged that Trump falsified business records to “conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws,” but did not specify a particular underlying crime. In recent interviews, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg has described the case as an “election interference case” that is about “conspiring to corrupt a presidential election” by concealing damaging information ahead of the vote.
TRUMP’S DEFENSE Trump,
who has denied having an affair with Daniels and said that the payment to her was not campaign related, has pleaded not guilty. He accused Bragg of being a “racist” and conducting a “witch hunt” against him. Trump’s legal team sought to have the judge on the case removed, alleging a conflict of interest; the judge declined to recuse himself, saying “this Court … is certain in its ability to be fair and impartial.” Trump’s legal team dropped an appeal to move the case from a state court that Trump says is “very unfair” to him to federal court.
THE VERDICT On May 30, 2024, the jury found Trump
guilty on 34 felony counts. His sentencing is set to be held on
July 11. Trump, who is expected to appeal, denounced the trial as a “disgrace” after the verdict and said he’s a
“very innocent man.”
