Mark Meadows enlists ex-Bush solicitor general for Georgia RICO case

Former President Trump’s Ex-Chief of Staff Bolsters Legal Defense in Georgia Election Subversion Case

Mark Meadows, the former chief of staff for ⁣Donald Trump, is taking steps to strengthen his legal defense against‌ charges in⁢ the Georgia 2020 election subversion case. He has hired ‌renowned appellate attorney‌ and former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, along with other experienced lawyers, ⁣to join his legal team.

Meadows, in a recent court filing, announced the addition of Clement, who previously served in the Justice Department under President George⁢ W.⁢ Bush. This move comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit rejected ⁢Meadows’ request to transfer the election racketeering charges to federal court.

Seeking a rehearing of his case, Meadows‌ has ‍enlisted ⁢the expertise of Clement, who has an impressive track record of ‌arguing​ before the Supreme Court. Notably, Clement will soon ‌be arguing a case challenging the ⁢Magnuson-Stevens Act, with the aim of influencing the court’s stance on the Chevron doctrine.

Clement’s involvement in⁣ high-profile⁤ cases, such as defending Hobby Lobby’s right ‍to exclude‍ contraception‌ and‌ advocating for the Defense of Marriage Act, highlights⁤ his history of representing conservative causes.

Meadows​ has been attempting to move his criminal case to federal court, ⁤arguing that his actions​ were ​part of his official duties as ‌chief of staff. However, his appeals have been ‌unsuccessful thus ‌far. He now hopes that the addition of Clement and his team‌ will ⁢strengthen his ​defense.

It ⁤is worth noting that Meadows is one of 19 ⁣co-defendants, including ​former President Trump, indicted in the Fulton County case. Several defendants have already pleaded guilty as part of agreements with prosecutors.
