‘Justice requires the prompt dismissal’: Mark Meadows attacks Arizona fake electors case on grounds that he was just receiving, replying to texts as Trump chief of staff

Mark Meadows is trying to remove a state criminal case to federal court on grounds that he was the chief of staff to then President Donald Trump at the time, thereby entitling him to “prompt dismissal,” but this time he’s challenging conspiracy, fraud, and forgery charges in his Arizona fake electors indictment — and this time he claims the U.S. Supreme Court immunity decision in Trump v. United States helps his cause.

Meadows has so far repeatedly failed to remove his Georgia RICO case to federal court, but he has since taken his cause from the 11th Circuit to the Supreme Court. As of July, he told the high court that the Trump immunity decision made clear that “federal immunity fully protects former officers” and “protects against the use of official acts to try to hold a current or former federal officer liable for unofficial acts.”
