Former President Donald Trump and his counsel will no longer be attempting to transfer his Georgia Election Case to federal court, as his legal team had previously suggested.
In a court filing released on Thursday, attorneys for the 45th president revealed that he will not be attempting to move the criminal charges brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to federal courts.
His lawyers reportedly informed Judge Scott McAfee previously that Trump “may” attempt to have the case transferred to the federal system. Outside of court, the former president’s representatives had been more open about their desire to move the case.
The deadline for the former president to make a request to move his case was set for Friday.
Trump’s attorney, Steven Sadow, wrote in the filing that the decision was based on his confidence that the court will protect his constitutional right.
“This decision is based on his well-founded confidence that this Honorable Court intends to fully and completely protect his constitutional right to a fair trial and guarantee him due process of law throughout the prosecution of his case in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia,” Sadow said.
The decision comes three weeks after a federal judge in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Georgia dismissed a request to postpone the case of co-defendant Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff.
Trump, Meadows, and 17 others have pleaded not guilty to all allegations in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to “change the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.”
According to the former president, his acts were not criminal, and the probe is 100% politically motivated.

Why did former President Donald Trump’s legal team decide not to pursue the transfer of the case to federal court?
G election fraud investigation conducted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The charges include racketeering, conspiracy, and election manipulation.
The possibility of transferring the case to federal court had been a topic of speculation since Trump’s legal team hinted at the idea. However, in the recent court filing, it was confirmed that the former president will not be pursuing this avenue. The decision was made based on the belief that the Superior Court of Fulton County will uphold Trump’s constitutional right to a fair trial and due process of law.
Trump’s attorney, Steven Sadow, expressed confidence in the court’s ability to protect his client’s rights. In his statement, Sadow affirmed that Trump has faith in the justice system and believes that he will receive a fair trial. This decision also indicates that Trump’s legal team is satisfied with the current jurisdiction and does not see the need to seek a transfer to federal court.
The timing of this announcement is noteworthy as it comes shortly after a federal judge dismissed a similar request to postpone the case of co-defendant Mark Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff. This dismissal suggests that the federal court system may not be receptive to delaying or transferring cases related to the Fulton County investigation.
The charges brought against Trump and the others involved in the case are serious and carry significant implications. The outcome of this trial will undoubtedly impact not only the individuals directly involved but also the public’s perception of the integrity of the electoral process.
It is important to note that Trump, Meadows, and the other defendants have pleaded not guilty to all charges. As the legal proceedings progress, it will be crucial for the court to ensure a fair and impartial trial, considering the gravity of the allegations and the potential consequences for the individuals involved.
In conclusion, former President Donald Trump has decided against attempting to transfer his Georgia Election Case to federal court. The decision reflects his confidence in the Superior Court of Fulton County to protect his constitutional rights and guarantee a fair trial. As the trial moves forward, the allegations of election fraud and the defendants’ plea of not guilty will be thoroughly examined, shedding light on the integrity of the electoral process and the accountability of those involved.
