Trump administration disputes judge's authority as showdown looms

The Trump administration is challenging a federal judge's authority in a case involving the potential testimony of former White House officials in a criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The administration argues that the case should be handled by a judge in Georgia, not in Washington, D.C., where Howell presides. This legal battle is part of a broader confrontation as Willis's investigation, which has already led to charges against several individuals, could potentially result in charges against former President Donald Trump. The contention over judicial authority could delay or alter the course of the investigation, with implications for how such legal battles are conducted in the future.
