Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, has petitioned the United States Supreme Court to end former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ repeatedly failed attempts to transfer his Georgia racketeering (RICO) case to federal court.
It is by no means a novel endeavour to remove the prosecution from the Peach State court system. Meadows has sought federal judges to grant jurisdiction over his case on multiple occasions. At least, federal judges have consistently declined to do so thus far.
Despite being the final and most critical transfer to the highest court in the chain, Willis claims the nine justices are not yet in a position to handle the most recent Meadows removal request.
The oft–embattled district attorney also claims Meadows’ arguments “alternatively miscast the nature” of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals’ December 2023 rejection “or entirely omit relevant precedent.”
