Jeffrey Clark whines about being 'rushed' to Atlanta to surrender as Trump codefendant
Amid Jeffrey Clark's request that his arrest in Fulton County be delayed is a complaint that the former DOJ official, who served under then-President Donald Trump, doesn't like to be rushed.
Clark is one of 18 co-defendants of Trump indicted last week on charges that they tried to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. But in a Tuesday motion, Clark complained that he doesn't have enough time to arrange travel from his Virginia home to Atlanta before a Friday deadline to surrender for arrest.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
Clark said in the motion that he wants to avoid "the choice of making rushed travel arrangements to fly into Atlanta or instead risking being labeled a fugitive."
The crux of Clark's filing is that his case should be moved to federal courts, an argument several other co-defendants have made.
He then demanded that he get an answer in less than 24 hours (by 5 p.m. on Tuesday).
Among charges Clark is facing are criminal attempts to make false statements and writings.
