Mark Meadows Pushes for Fulton County Election Case to be Moved to Federal Court

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has filed to move the case brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis into federal court, following his indictment along with former President Donald Trump and 17 others on charges related to attempting to overturn Trump's election loss in Georgia. Meadows' attorney argues that federal law requires the removal of criminal proceedings brought in state court when someone is charged for actions taken as a federal official. Meadows intends to file a motion to dismiss the indictment, and moving the case to federal court would temporarily halt the state-court proceedings against him.
