The former White House chief of staff's attorneys asked a court to block the Fulton County district attorney's enforcement of his arrest warrant while they try to have the Georgia state case against him moved to federal court.
— A federal judge in Georgia rejected a request by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to postpone his surrender and arrest in Fulton County, Georgia, as an attempt to move the case to federal court is litigated, according to a court order issued Wednesday.
Meadows' attorneys had asked the federal court to block Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' enforcement of an arrest warrant as they worked to convince the judge to move the Georgia state case to federal court. Meadows, who served as chief of staff in the Trump White House, argued last week that his case should be moved to federal court because the allegations contained in Willis' indictment against him occurred while he was acting in his formal capacity as White House chief of staff.
On Tuesday, Willis pushed back, writing in a federal court filing,"Lawfully arresting the defendant on felony charges after allowing the defendant ample time to negotiate a surrender neither deprives the defendant of the ability to seek removal nor does it impact this Court's jurisdiction to consider removal."
