Chris Christie says Meadows’ motion to transfer Georgia case to federal court won’t make a difference.

Chris Christie: Moving Meadows’s Indictment to Federal Court Won’t⁣ Change Much

Republican presidential candidate Chris ‌Christie expressed his ⁤opinion on former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows potentially moving his Georgia indictment to federal court, stating that it “really won’t change matters all that much.”⁤ As a former United States attorney and New Jersey governor, Christie shared his‌ insights during an appearance ​on CBS’s Face the Nation.

Meadows’s Request to Switch Venue

During the interview, Christie was asked about Meadows’s request ⁤to transfer his state charges to federal court. Meadows, along⁤ with former President Donald Trump, was recently charged with RICO offenses related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.

“He’s got an argument to make,” Christie acknowledged. “There’s no doubt about that under ⁣the statutes, there’s an argument to ‌make.”

Christie emphasized that a ⁣federal judge would carefully consider the evidence ​and‍ the interests involved in making venue decisions. He acknowledged that ​there is definitely a valid argument for switching⁣ the venue to federal court.

The​ Indictment and Meadows’s Arrest

The 41-count indictment, issued earlier this month in Fulton County, Georgia, named Donald Trump, Meadows, and 17 others. The indictment accuses the group of attempting to undermine the ‍state’s 2020 election results.

Meadows had requested the court to block his arrest while he sought to move the case to federal court. However, his request was denied, and he turned​ himself in on Thursday, posting a $100,000 bond.
