Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Prepares for Federal Hearing in Racketeering Case, Trump and Other Defendants Watching Closely

Attorneys for ​former White House Chief of ‍Staff Mark Meadows and prosecutors from the Fulton ⁢County district attorney’s office are set to appear in⁣ court on Monday for the first federal hearing in the district attorney’s sweeping racketeering case. According to sources, attorneys and aides for former President Donald Trump and some of the other defendants will be​ closely watching the proceedings.

The evidentiary hearing, scheduled to⁣ take place before Judge Steve Jones, is part of Meadows’ attempt to ​have his trial ⁢moved to federal court. This hearing is expected to provide insight into how ‍the case ‌may proceed.

Sources close⁤ to some of the 19​ defendants, including Trump, Meadows, and former New York City‌ Mayor Rudy Giuliani, have revealed that the legal teams for many of the defendants will be closely‌ monitoring Monday’s‌ proceedings. Some have even sent representatives to observe the hearing⁤ in person.

The potential ramifications of⁣ moving Meadows’ ⁢case to federal court remain unclear, as it is an untested scenario, according to one⁣ attorney representing‍ a defendant in the‍ case. The charges against Meadows ​include his involvement⁢ in ‌a phone ‌call made by Trump to Georgia Secretary of State ⁤Brad Raffensperger on January 2,⁤ 2021, where Trump asked Raffensperger to‍ “find” the number of votes needed to win Georgia. The question being litigated is whether Meadows made the call as the ‍chief of staff to the ⁤president or as a private citizen or member of the Trump campaign.

Several defendants charged in the district ​attorney’s case have ⁢filed motions‌ to move their trials to federal court. Meadows was the first to be​ granted a hearing, while‍ former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark has​ a hearing scheduled for September 18.

Trump, who surrendered⁣ in Fulton County on Thursday, asserted his right⁢ to challenge ‌an ​election that he believes was dishonest. He continued to falsely claim that the election had been stolen and stated that they had every right to ‌challenge it.

In response to​ a motion filed by attorney Kenneth Chesebro requesting a speedy‍ trial, the judge overseeing the case set a trial date of October 23⁢ for Chesebro only. Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell also⁤ filed ⁢a request for a speedy trial following the judge’s order.

Attorneys ‍for Trump have requested that his trial be separated from the ‌other defendants, ⁣citing the ⁣need for more preparation time.
