The former chief of staff for President Donald Trump, Mark Meadows has filed a motion to dismiss the charges against him in Georgia. The Meadows team argue that he has immunity because the allegations, which include organizing calls between Georgia election officials and Trump were part of his tasks as chief of staff and he complied with federal law.
Meadows, President Trump and 17 others were indicted on August 14th by another Democrat activist District Attorney in Fani Willis.
"The State's prosecution of Mr. Meadows threatens the important federal interest in providing the President of the United States with close, confidential advice and assistance, firmly entrenched in federal law for nearly 100 years... and gives rise to precisely the sort of state interference in federal affairs the Supremacy Clause prohibits," the motion states.
The Supremacy Clause -"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof... shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." It establishes that federal law takes precedence over state laws.
