"Absent a stay, the State will continue seeking to try Meadows 42 days from now," the filing said. "If the State gets its way, Meadows could be forced to go to trial -- and could be convicted and incarcerated -- before the standard timeline for a federal appeal would play out."
Meadows and 18 others, including former President Donald Trump, pleaded not guilty last month in to all charges in afor alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia. Former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows speaks during a forum on House and GOP Conference rules for the 118th Congress in Washington, Nov. 14, 2022.The former president says his actions were not illegal and that the investigation is politically motivated.
Meadows, in his motion Monday, said he "respectfully believes the Court erred" in denying his request to move his trial, and that he "intends to seek expedited review in the Court of Appeals later today." The judge has already ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to respond by noon Tuesday.
