"Mark Meadows Enlists Ex-Bush Aide for Full Appeals Court Review on Georgia Election Case"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill
Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff under Trump, is seeking a full appeals court review of a decision that denied moving his Georgia election racketeering charges to federal court. He has bolstered his legal team with Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general, as the case could potentially reach the Supreme Court. Meadows aims to assert immunity in federal court to dismiss the charges, which are part of a larger prosecution effort by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, including charges against former President Trump. The 11th Circuit previously ruled that only current officials could move charges under the removal statute, a decision Meadows's expanded legal team is now challenging.
