Resolves YES if the Georgia case against Trump is removed to federal court. Resolves NO if a removal motion by Trump is denied, or the case is otherwise concluded without removal to federal court.
Definition:
federal law allows a prosecution or suit to be "removed" (i.e. transfered) from state to federal court if the case stems from a federal officer’s governmental duties.
This question resolves based on the venue of Trump's prosecution specifically. If another defendant is able to remove but not Trump, that doesn't count.
(Standard rule, just to be clear:) The close date does not matter for the resolution criteria of this market. It will be changed as needed.

I think this market could be resolved.
@AdamTreat Seems like it, but is there any significant chance that he could change his mind about the motion to remove to federal court?
@jack I honestly don't know what would happen if he tried to change his mind. You can keep it open just in case I guess, but seems extremely unlikely.
