Former President Donald Trump may try to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court, his lawyer said in a court filing Thursday.

Trump can formally request the move within 30 days of his arraignment, which occurred on Aug. 31 when he submitted a written arraignment waiver to the Fulton County court.
