The #law requires #defendants to establish 3 things to move a case to #FederalCourt: that they were an officer of the US or acting under an officer; that they’re facing #criminal charges “for or relating to any act under color of such office”; &that they have raised or will raise a “colorable federal defense.” #Meadows filed a separate motion in fed court to #dismiss #charges against him under the #Constitution’s #SupremacyClause, but this will be heard only if his arguments for #removal prevail

If the motions for removal of the #Georgia case are successful, the defendants would probably then argue in #FederalCourt that they should not be charged for state #crimes, (per) …the #SupremacyClause of the US Constitution, which says that fed #laws generally take precedence over state laws.

3 of the 19 defendants charged by #Willis were fed ofcls at the time…: #Trump, #Clark & #Meadows. Meadows filed a motion on Fri …to dismiss the charges against him, based on the Supremacy Clause.
