Mark Meadows, a co-defendant in the case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, is asking a judge to move his case to federal court"promptly" by Friday, the deadline for his surrender at Fulton County Jail.
Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, said through his counsel in an emergency motion filed Tuesday that the decision process of whether to remove his case from state to federal court would be"frustrated" if the judge allowed for his arrest. "Absent this Court’s intervention, Mr. Meadows will be denied the protection from arrest that federal law affords former federal officials, and this Court’s prompt but orderly consideration of removal will be frustrated," Meadows's attorney wrote.Meadows, who is facing two felony charges related to his alleged illegal efforts to overturn the 2020 election, first filed a removal request last week, and the judge responded by setting a hearing on the matter for Aug. 28.
