Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to put the final kibosh on serially unsuccessful efforts by former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to move his Georgia racketeering (RICO) prosecution to federal court.

The effort to remove the prosecution from the Peach State court system is not, by any stretch, new. Meadows has repeatedly asked federal judges to give a federal court jurisdiction over his case. So far, at least, federal judges have repeatedly declined to do so.

Willis says the latest Meadows removal request — despite being the next, and last, move to the highest court up the chain — is simply not important or timely enough for the nine justices to deal with yet.

The oft–embattled district attorney also claims Meadows’ arguments “alternatively miscast the nature” of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals’ December 2023 rejection “or entirely omit relevant precedent.”
