Trump Attorneys May Seek to Move Georgia RICO Case to Federal Court
President Trump may seek to move Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s RICO and conspiracy case to a federal court, according to a new court filing.
Trump’s attorneys formally notified the superior court judge overseeing the Fulton County RICO case that they “may” move the case to a federal court. This move could help Trump get the charges dropped by invoking immunity protections.
“President Trump hereby notifies the Court that he may seek removal of his prosecution to federal court,” Trump lawyer Steven Sadow said in a court filing. “To be timely, his notice of removal must be filed within 30 days of his arraignment.”
Trump was charged with 13 counts – including RICO and conspiracy – by a Fulton County grand jury last month.
