District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Alvin Hellerstein, as
Inner City Press reported.
Jump cut to

Jump cut to
February 4, 2026 when after
decision by the Second
Circuit, Judge Hellerstein
held an argument, Inner City
Press live tweeted, ending:
DA Bragg's Wu: If
you look at the evidence they
are challenging here. This is
not a case like the E. Jean
Carroll case - they are
challenging tweets, and the
testimony of Ms. Hicks and Ms.
Westerhout. It was about
private conduct
Judge
Hellerstein: OK, I'm not going
to do any evidentiary
hearing. Trump's Wall:
Should the scope of immunity
of a US President be decided
in a state court, or this
Federal court, then the 2d
Circuit, Supreme Court? It
answers itself.
Judge
Hellerstein: I'll rule later
