The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit wasted no time Tuesday taking up an emergency motion filed by Mark Meadows, President Trump’s former chief of staff, to move his Georgia criminal election-interference case to a federal court.
Less than 24 hours after Mr. Meadows filed his motion, the appeals court directed prosecutors with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to file a response by noon on Wednesday and defense attorneys to file their answer by 5 p.m. the same day.
The brief, one-page order was issued by the 11th Circuit after Mr. Meadows filed an emergency motion seeking to pause an order that kept his Georgia state criminal charges in a state court, as he appeals the decision to a higher federal court. Mr. Meadows is charged with one count each of violating Georgia’s racketeering law and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer.
