Quick Glance: Judge skeptical of Jeffrey Clark's attempt to move Georgia election charges to federal court
- During a hearing, a federal judge expressed doubt about Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official from the Trump era, trying to transfer his case regarding election subversion in Georgia to federal court.
