Trump's filing on Thursday said his decision is based on his "well-founded confidence that this Honorable Court intends to fully and completely protect his constitutional right to a fair trial and guarantee him due process of law throughout the prosecution of his case in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia."
Trump last month notified the court that he may file to remove, which the new filing says was done "in an abundance of caution."

Looks like the Indians have him surrounded...
He certainly gets a free pass to question an election. After all he has to look after the rights of ALL Americans and that includes the half that voted for him and were cheated.
