On Thursday, Donald Trump informed Georgia Superior Court judge Scott McAfee that he was potentially planning on moving his election interference case out of the state into federal court.
The former president has pleaded not guilty to the slew of charges brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
"President Trump hereby notifies the Court that he may seek removal of his prosecution to federal court under 28 U.S.C. ยงยง 1442 & 1455," attorney Steven Sadow wrote in a notice to McAfee.
"His written waiver of arraignment was filed on August 31, 2023. To be timely, his notice of removal must be filed within 30-days of his arraignment."
If the move is granted, Trump may be able to invoke immunity protections for federal officials, according to CNN.
