Mark Meadows, the one-time chief of staff to former President Trump, is continuing his monthslong effort to move the Fulton County case against him into federal court.
the Fulton County criminal case against him into federal court, asking the Supreme Court in a new appeal to intervene on a lower court's ruling they claim was "dangerously" wrong.
"Just as immunity protection for former officers is critical to ensuring that current and future officers are not deterred from enthusiastic service, so too is the promise of a federal forum in which to litigate that defense," the 47-page filing states. Both a lower court and appeals court have rejected that claim, with one judge writing that Meadows' actions charged in the indictment "were taken on behalf of the Trump campaign" and not his official duties.
