Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis has until September 30 to respond to a U.S. Supreme Court appeal seeking to move former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows‘ election subversion case to federal court.
Willis indicted Meadows, former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others last year on charges of attempting to illegally overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden with the aid of “fake electors” and attempts to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” additional votes for Trump.
Meadows appealed to the Supreme Court last month after a previous attempt to take his case out of Willis’ jurisdiction failed in a lower federal court. The former Trump official claims that he is immune from state prosecution in Georgia due to his alleged crimes being committed while he was performing official duties.
On Monday, the Supreme Court granted the district attorney’s office’s request to delay filing a response to the appeal from Meadows. Had the request been rejected, Willis’ office would have had to respond by August 29.
