"Georgia's Fake Trump Electors: Federal Trials and Fiery Hearings Unveil Untold Story"

TL;DR Summary
Three Georgia Republicans indicted for allegedly posing as presidential electors to overturn the 2020 election have asked a federal judge to move their cases from state to federal court, arguing that their positions as federal electors should protect them from state charges. However, the judge has already rejected a similar request from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. The case will help define when federal officials are protected from state prosecution for carrying out their official duties. Five of Trump's co-defendants have also asked to move their cases, and Trump himself may make the request.
