Fulton County DA Fani Willis noted in court filings that Trump's former chief of staff 'was forced to acknowledge' role in fake elector plot during testimony.
is part of a wider plan to have the charges against him dropped while citing immunity under the Supremacy Clause as the charges against him involve his time as Trump's White House chief of staff.
"The argument is that no matter how offensive Meadows' conduct might have been to the state, the supremacy of federal law prevents charging him with a Georgia crime," Litman wrote. "We can be sure Meadows will bring the motion with alacrity if his case is moved to federal court, and if he succeeds, it will make the whole case against him go away.
"Here's the rub for Meadows," Litman added."To obtain immunity, he would need to show that his conduct served some actual U.S. government purpose that the Supremacy Clause would forbid the state from annulling. It's not enough for Meadows to argue that he was chaperoning a rogue president; he has to demonstrate a legitimate federal goal."
