A co-defendant of Donald Trump in Georgia suffered a legal loss Tuesday.
MAGA lawyer Jeff Clark, who was recently taken down a notch by a host on MSNBC, found out that the court wasn't going to allow him to skip out on Georgia criminal charges.
A Georgia law professor posted about the filing on Tuesday.
"Judge McAfee DENIES Jeff Clark’s motion to dismiss the charges against him for lack of jurisdiction, citing Georgia’s long-arm criminal statute that applies extraterritorially and broad jurisdiction conferred by law to the superior court," Anthony Michael Kreis said. "He rejects the claim as meritless."

MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang also posted about the legal development.
The "best part," according to Phang, is that "Judge McAfee finds Clark’s arguments to lack any 'persuasive precedent' and to be 'creative.'"
"You don’t want a judge to say you’re being 'creative lol," Phang wrote on social media Tuesday. "You want a judge to just grant your motion to dismiss."
A fan asked Phang what "personal jurisdiction meant," and this was her reply:
"So 'personal jurisdiction' is the idea that a court has to have the power & ability to bring you into its jurisdiction to be able to make decisions that will affect you."
