Former President Donald Trump may try to move his Georgia election interference case to Federal Court, his lawyer said in a court filing Thursday. 

“President Trump hereby notifies the Court that he may seek removal of his prosecution to Federal court,” Steven Sadow, the 77-year-old former president’s lead lawyer in the case, said in a two-page notice to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. 

Trump can formally request the move within 30 days of his arraignment, which occurred on Aug. 31 when he submitted a written arraignment waiver to the Fulton County court. 

Moving the case to a federal court would allow Trump to argue that he is immune from state prosecution because the actions alleged in the 13-count Fulton County grand jury indictment all fell under the purview of his role as president. 

Trump is accused of violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy, filing false documents, making false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office so he could remain in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election.

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, one of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia case, took the witness stand in an Atlanta courtroom last week as part of his effort to move the two criminal charges against him to federal court. 

Meadows, 64, argued that the actions he took in vetting the Peach State’s 2020 election results fell under the scope of his wide-ranging and unpredictable role as Trump’s chief of staff.

Georgia state prosecutors countered that the former North Carolina congressman’s actions fell outside of the scope of his federal position and were more in line with Trump’s official re-election campaign.

Federal Judge Steve Jones has yet to rule on Meadow’s removal request.

Meadows is among at least five of Trump’s co-defendants who are seeking to move their case to federal court, including former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, former Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer, Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still and former Coffee County GOP Chairwoman Cathy Latham.
