Mark Meadows seeks transfer of Georgia election case from Fulton County court.
Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Seeks to Move Georgia Case to Federal Court
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is making a bold move in the Fulton County, Georgia case brought against him. He is seeking to have the case transferred to federal court, adding another twist to the already high-profile legal battle.
Meadows, along with Trump and 17 others, was indicted on Monday for allegedly attempting to subvert the 2020 election results. In a strategic maneuver, Meadows’ attorney, George Terwilliger, argued that the case should be moved because it is directly related to his client’s actions during his tenure as Chief of Staff.
“Nothing Mr. Meadows is alleged in the indictment to have done is criminal per se: arranging Oval Office meetings, contacting state officials on the President’s behalf, visiting a state government building, and setting up a phone call for the President,” Terwilliger wrote in the filing.
Terwilliger emphasized that these actions were expected from Meadows’ role and should not be considered criminal. He believes that by moving the case to federal court, they can ensure a fair and impartial trial.
According to the 98-page indictment, Meadows had a meeting with Georgia Secretary of State chief investigator Frances Watson in Cobb County to discuss an ongoing audit of signature matches. This meeting is a key element in the case against him.
The court file reveals that Meadows intends to request the dismissal of the entire indictment. By moving the case to federal court, he hopes to temporarily halt the state-court proceedings against him while the motion to dismiss is being considered.
