Judge Questions Trump DOJ Official's Attempt to Transfer Georgia Election Charges to Federal Court

A federal judge expressed skepticism towards former Trump-era Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark's attempt to move his Georgia election subversion case to federal court. Clark, who is charged with violating Georgia's racketeering law and attempting to make false statements, argued that his actions were within the scope of his federal duties. However, the judge refused to accept a sworn statement from Clark as evidence and seemed frustrated during the hearing. The judge did not provide a timeframe for his ruling. Clark's bid differs from that of Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and former Justice Department officials believe it is a tossup.
