Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows wants a Georgia judge to dismiss the lone remaining charge he faces in the racketeering (RICO) case against Donald Trump and others.

In a Monday filing uploaded to the public docket on Tuesday morning, the defendant insists he has “immunity from state prosecution” under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The 9-page brief asks Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to hold an evidentiary hearing in order to dispense with arguments from the state and Meadows on the immunity defense. In the event McAfee decides to do so, Meadows would likely be compelled to testify under oath in proceedings that would be live-streamed by the court.
