Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie on Sunday said that former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows potentially getting his Georgia indictment moved to federal court “really won’t change matters all that much.”
Christie, a former United States attorney, and the former New Jersey governor, was asked Sunday during an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation about Meadows’s request to move his state charges to federal court. Meadows was charged alongside former President Donald Trump last week on RICO charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.“He’s got an argument to make,” Christie said of Meadows. “There’s no doubt about that under the statutes, there’s an argument to make.

There’s definitely an argument to be about switching venue to federal court.
The former Trump chief of staff had asked a court to block his arrest while he petitioned to move the case to federal court, though that request was denied. He turned himself in on Thursday and paid a $100,000 bond.
