Mark Meadows Requests Dismissal of Georgia Charges in Election Interference Case

Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows has asked a federal court to dismiss charges brought against him by Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutors, arguing that the charges relate to his role as a federal official working for then-President Donald Trump and that he should have immunity. Meadows' attorneys assert that his actions were within the scope of his duties as Chief of Staff and that he is not accused of violating any federal law. Meadows is accused of connecting with officials in multiple states on Trump's behalf to discuss the election and Electoral College certification. He has also requested to move his case from state to federal court and wants the proceedings to move quickly.
