Arizona Court Rejects Trump Ally’s Request

Published

on

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff under Donald Trump, has lost his bid to transfer his criminal case related to the 2020 election in Arizona to federal court.

This attempt was seen as a strategic move to potentially get the charges dismissed.

Meadows had similarly tried to move his criminal case in Georgia to federal court but was unsuccessful and has since appealed to the US Supreme Court.

Meadows, along with 17 other Trump associates, including fake electors and campaign affiliates, face indictment for their alleged efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss. Meadows has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

EDITORS PICK:

US District Judge John Tuchi, an Obama appointee, rejected Meadows’ argument, stating that he had waited too long to make the request and failed to demonstrate how his official duties as Trump’s chief of staff were connected to the charged conduct.

Tuchi emphasized that the criminal case revolves around Meadows’ alleged involvement in an illegal electioneering scheme, not his secretarial duties or communication facilitation.

The judge also criticized Meadows for attempting to reframe the indictment, stressing that the charges stem from his alleged orchestration and participation in the scheme, not merely receiving text messages or managing the President’s time.

This ruling marks a significant blow to Meadows’ legal strategy, and his team has yet to comment on the matter.

As the case proceeds, attention will be focused on the legal battles ahead and the implications for those involved in the alleged election subversion efforts.
