Appeals Court to Hear Oral Arguments on Meadows’s Emergency Motion in GA Election Case.
An appeals court on Sept. 13 agreed to hear oral arguments on an emergency motion filed by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows related to the charges listed against him in the Fulton County, Georgia election-racketeering case.
Attorneys for Mr. Meadows filed an emergency motion with the court this month seeking to pause criminal proceedings in the Georgia election case while he appeals a lower court’s order denying his effort to have the case removed to federal court.
The oral arguments will be heard at 10:15 a.m. on Sept. 15 via Zoom by a three-judge panel consisting of Circuit Judges Robin Rosenbaum and Adalberto Jordan, both of whom were appointed by President Barack Obama, and Charles Wilson, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, The Messenger reported.
In its ruling Wednesday, the appeals court ordered Mr. Meadows to file an initial brief on the matter by Sept. 18, while a response is due from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis by Sept. 25, according to the publication.
Once those briefings have been submitted, the court said it would schedule oral arguments on the matter if it determines it is “warranted.”
Meadows Argues Supremacy Clause Grants Protections
“The evidence before the Court overwhelmingly suggests that Meadows was not acting in his scope of executive branch duties during most of the Overt Acts alleged,” the judge wrote.
Another Request Denied
A total of 19 people, including former President Donald Trump, were indicted on Aug. 14 by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, over their efforts to dispute the results of the 2020 election in the state.
