Can Trump Evade Extradition to Georgia?
As former President Trump faces criminal investigations in multiple states, he may be wondering if it is possible to avoid their jurisdiction. By sheltering in Florida, he may be able to take advantage of a convoluted legal loophole in interstate extradition. If Trump is arrested, convicted, and sentenced in Florida, Governor DeSantis can use his powers of clemency and to commute Trump's sentence to state confinement and simultaneously reject interstate extradition requests on the grounds that Trump is being held in state custody.
