Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff under Donald Trump, has requested the Supreme Court to intervene after being indicted in Georgia for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.

Meadows has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, which include violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and soliciting a violation of oath by a public officer.

In addition to the Georgia charges, Meadows has also been charged in Arizona for attempts to assist Trump in overturning election results.

The Georgia case is currently paused while an appeals court reviews ethics allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, which will not be resolved before the upcoming election.

This attempt follows a December 2023 ruling by a three-judge appeals panel which denied Meadows's previous effort to move the case, stating former federal officials are ineligible for such removal.

The appeals court ruled that Meadows failed to demonstrate he was acting in his official capacity when involved in efforts to overturn Joe Biden's electoral victory in Georgia.

Meadows' legal team characterized the appellate ruling as 'egregiously wrong' and argued that the Supreme Court's recent decision on presidential immunity supports their case.

Meadows argues he is entitled to immunity from the charges based on his role as former White House Chief of Staff.

Meadows' attorneys have petitioned the US Supreme Court to transfer the Georgia 2020 election interference case to federal court, arguing that the case involves significant questions about federal duties and powers.

The petition cites a recent Supreme Court ruling granting Donald Trump immunity for actions deemed official, arguing that a federal forum is necessary for addressing the duties of the White House chief of staff.

The filing emphasizes the importance of a federal forum to address significant questions regarding the duties of federal officials.
