Lawyers Representing Mark Meadows to Advocate for Relocating Georgia Election Case
Lawyers representing Mark Meadows, former chief of staff for Donald Trump, are arguing in court that a federal judge should take over a Georgia criminal case accusing Meadows and Trump of conspiring to subvert the 2020 election. Prosecutors in the case allege that Trump and 18 Republican allies attempted to overturn his election loss to Joe Biden. Meadows is seeking to move the case to federal court, claiming immunity from prosecution for carrying out his duties as a federal official. The court’s decision could have implications for Trump and other co-defendants who have also sought to move their cases to federal court. Prosecutors argue that the defendants’ actions fell outside of their official duties.
