At least five other defendants in the 19-defendant case\u2064 have also\u2063 attempted to \u2064have their cases transferred to federal court,\u2063 hoping to benefit from a \u2064potentially more conservative jury\u2063 pool.\u200c Additionally, a trial in federal court would avoid televised testimony.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump can successfully argue \u200dthat the alleged actions\u200d in the indictment \u2063were connected \u2064to \u2064his formal duties as president,\u200b he may \u2064have more opportunities to have his charges dropped. His former chief of staff, Mark Meadows,\u200c is currently awaiting a decision from\u2062 U.S. District Judge\u200c Steve Jones regarding his request to move his case to federal court. Judge\u200b Jones, who presided over a hearing last month\u200c where Meadows testified for over three hours, \u2062is \u2064expected to make a ruling soon.\u2063 A similar hearing is scheduled for Sep. 20 for \u2064former Justice Department official Jeffrey\u2062 Clark, who is also seeking to have his case removed from state\u200c court.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Articles:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#\">Antitrust Case \u2063of the Century: What to Expect as Justice Department \u200cv.
