    Removing to federal court doesn’t change the pardon rules. The charges remain state charges. A trial in GA will be televised by default. Federal courts don’t allow cameras by default, but a federal judge may deem that the public interest is best served by televising it, and may make an exception. The difference in the jury pool is something, too.

      The difference being the jury pool would be selected from the federal district which is overall deeper red than just Fulton county where Atlanta metro is, and which tends to be deeper blue.
