Several of Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants have filed petitions to move their cases.

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump may seek to move the Georgia criminal case in which he is accused of conspiring to overturn his 2020 US election loss from state to federal court – a potentially more favourable venue for the former president, his lawyer said in a court filing on Thursday.

Trump and the other defendants were indicted on charges that they unlawfully pressured Georgia election officials to overturn Biden’s election victory in the state. US district judge Steve Jones is expected to rule on the petitions to move the matter into federal court in the coming weeks.
