Former President Donald Trump may attempt to have his latest criminal indictment moved from a state court to a federal court. But where there are advantages, there are also challenges, according to legal analyst David Gelman.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has successfully urged a grand jury to charge President Trump and several co-defendants with allegations of lawbreaking in connection with his attempts to dispute the 2020 election results. Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who was also charged in the 98-page indictment, has already requested to have the Fulton County charges moved to a federal court, citing a federal law that allows individuals who were federal officeholders at the time of an alleged criminal act to have the case go before a federal court.
