That’s not how Federalism works. The President is not a member of any state government, and has no immunity from state crimes. There’s no way to move this case from state court to federal.
The Constitution can’t be changed that easily. There’s no reason for the State of New York to give up the case, even if it were possible to do. And there’s no way to compel it, considering the issue is NY State law.

They’re already trying it on appeal, though. Sure, they’re applying federal precedent to a state case, but why would Trump’s team let stop them?
