Ex-Trump aide Mark Meadows loses bid to move Arizona election case to federal court
Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff during the Trump administration, has lost his bid to move his 2020 election subversion case from Arizona to federal court due to a missed deadline, a judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Judge John Tuchi said Meadows "failed to show good cause that might permit the court to excuse the untimeliness" after he missed the deadline to file his request.
In February, Meadows lost a bid for a hearing in an effort to move his election interference charges in Georgia to federal court. Meadows has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
Meadows, who was White House chief of staff from March 31, 2020, to January 20, 2021, has argued his status as a federal official requires a federal trial instead of the state-level trial filed against him and others in both Georgia and Arizona. Moving the criminal cases to federal court would make it easier to have the charges dismissed.
