“Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is trying again to move the Fulton County election interference case against him to federal court, this time before a three-judge panel at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“Meadows is invoking the 234-year-old federal removal statute, which allows federal officials charged with state crimes to transfer them to federal court if the alleged criminal behavior was carried out as part of a person’s official duties.
In his appeal, Meadows is arguing that he was acting as then-President Donald Trump’s chief of staff when he committed the alleged conduct.”
