This news came after the former president of the US’ lawyers said that he was trying to move the case to a federal court.
The former president of the US will not seek to move a criminal case about the 2020 presidential election case in Georgia from state to federal court, his lawyers have said on Thursday. This is a development that could simplify the former president of the US’ path to trial.
The former president of the US’ lawyer, Steven Sadow, wrote that the decision was based on the well founded confidence of the former president of the US that the Honorable Court intends to fully and completely protect the constitutional right of Trump to a fair trial and will guarantee him due process of law throughout his prosecution in the Superior Court of Fulton County.
A spokesperon for the former president of the US did not respond to a request for comment on whether the court filing on Thursday was influenced by the ruling against Meadows. On September 8, the former president of the US’ former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, was denied by a federal judge of his bid to move the Georgia case against him, a day after an attorney of Trump might seek a similar move.
