TL;DR Summary

Fulton county prosecutors argued in court that three fake Trump electors seeking to transfer their criminal cases for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia should have their requests denied as they were not federal officials and thus ineligible. The prosecutors cited past comments made by supreme court justices to support their argument. The decision on whether the three Trump electors can remove their racketeering charges to federal court will be made by the presiding US district judge. The defense lawyers for the Trump electors argued that their clients could be construed as federal officials and therefore eligible to be tried in federal court. However, the prosecutors contended that the Trump electors were private individuals trying to overturn the election result and did not meet the burden of proving they were federal officials.
