Mark Meadows seeks Supreme Court to move Georgia election case against him to another court
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to move the Georgia election subversion case against him to another court.
Meadows’ lawyers said they asked justices to move the case from state to federal court, where they could argue immunity from the charges.
The move comes after the high court’s ruling giving former President Donald Trump some immunity in the federal election subversion prosecution.

The issue is not expected to be resolved before the presidential election.
Meadows, along with former 2020 Trump campaign official Mike Roman, is also accused of conspiring to try and overturn the 2020 election in Arizona.
