Meadows Again Seeks To Move Case To Federal Court

The Hill reports:

In court papers filed Tuesday evening, Mark Meadows asked the full 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to hear his bid after a three-judge panel of the court rejected Meadows’s arguments last month. The battle could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.

Succeeding in moving to federal court would give Meadows a pathway to try to assert immunity and get his charges tossed, a tactic that could imperil Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s (D) prosecution of Meadows and other co-defendants, including Trump. Willis opposes moving the Meadows case.

It would also broaden the jury pool to less-heavily Democratic areas of northern Georgia, have Meadows’s case overseen by a federal judge and doom chances of his trial being televised.
