election case will successfully have his charges moved to federal court. that said to be the subject of an evidentiary hearing at ten, am eastern tomorrow morning. meadows requested hinges on the so-called federal law removal statute, which allows federal officials charged with crimes to transfer a state case to federal court. only if they can prove that the alleged criminal behavior was carried out as part of their official duties. in order to prove that, many legal experts say meadows will need to take the stand. fulton county district attorney fani willis who is fighting to keep the case within her county has already subpoenaed to witnesses to testify on monday. that is secretary of state brad raffensperger and his chief investigator francis watson. it sets the scene for a dramatic day in court, which politicos kyle cheney has dubbed a, quote many trial. the second key answer that we should have as soon as tomorrow when we could expect to see
