Mark Meadows, former Chief of Staff to Donald Trump, is seeking to transfer his Arizona election subversion case from state court to federal court, arguing that his actions were taken in his capacity as a federal official. His attorneys contend that the allegations are related to his official duties and invoke Supremacy Clause immunity, which they claim protects federal officials from state-level charges. The Arizona indictment accuses Meadows and others of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, including efforts to submit fake electors. A hearing for this motion has been scheduled for September 5. This legal strategy mirrors Meadows' earlier attempt to move similar charges in Georgia to federal court, which was unsuccessful, and he currently has a pending petition with the U.S. Supreme Court regarding that case. If successful in Arizona, this move could significantly impact the nature of the charges against him and his legal defenses.
