Mark Meadows asks Supreme Court to move Georgia election case to federal court

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’s attorneys have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to transfer his Georgia election racketeering case to federal court.

They argue that, following a recent Supreme Court decision granting former President Trump some immunity in a federal election case, a federal forum is necessary to address the legal questions surrounding Meadows’s actions in his official capacity.

The petition marks Meadows’s latest effort to move the case after a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the full appeals court previously denied his request, ruling that former federal officials are not eligible to transfer their charges and that Meadows did not prove he was acting in his official role.

Meadows, the former chief of staff, contends that he was performing his official duties when the alleged actions occurred and seeks to move the case to federal court to assert immunity from the indictment, The Hill has reported.
