Christie Claims Meadows Has Legal Basis to Transfer Georgia Case to Federal Court
Former Trump administration chief of staff Mark Meadows is seeking to transfer his legal proceedings in Georgia to a federal court. Republican Chris Christie believes Meadows has a legal argument to make for the venue change, which could allow him to assert partial immunity. Christie, a former federal prosecutor, clarified that the decision lies with the trial judge. Meadows, who faces felony charges, including racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, aims to avoid a televised trial. Success in his request could have implications for other defendants, including former President Donald Trump.
