Trump GA - Change of Venue to Federal Court? (lemmy.world)

It appears at least some of the indicted players in the Trump indictments in Georgia are asking to change to Federal court…but these are State charges not Federal - how could a Federal court hear the case(s) in that situation? Would it enable a potential Presidential pardon which does not apply to State charges otherwise?

Is this a back door way to dodge the charges?

That's why I'm asking….it would still be a state case, even if heard in a Federal court (right?). GA filed charges, not the DOJ…that's the part I'm not clear on.
