Mark Meadows to again argue for federal removal in Georgia election interference case
A panel of judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments Friday from former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows as he continues his effort to move the election interference charges against him in Georgia out of state court and into federal court.
The appeal from Meadows came after a federal judge in September denied his request to move his case to federal court, finding that Meadows' actions as charged in the indictment "were taken on behalf of the Trump campaign" -- not on behalf of his duties with the federal government.
"The color of the Office of the White House Chief of Staff did not include working with or working for the Trump campaign, except for simply coordinating the President's schedule, traveling with the President to his campaign events, and redirecting communications to the campaign," U.S. District Judge Steve Jones wrote in his order denying Meadows' request.
The Fulton County district attorney's office, in their brief to the appeals court, argued that Meadows' conduct "advanced his and Trump's personal interests" -- not the government's.
A panel is set to hear arguments from Meadows' legal team and the DA's office on Friday morning in Atlanta. It was not immediately clear if Meadows would personally attend.
