The argument, filed as a third-party brief in proceedings where Clark and Meadows seek to move the Georgia state charges to federal court, musters support for keeping the entire case in state court. A judge is set to consider arguments from Meadows and potentially Clark on Monday on moving the case, after both have asked to do so. "The conduct charged here by the Fulton County District Attorney— interference by Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark with the 2020 presidential election in Georgia in order to aid Donald Trump’s candidacy—bore no connection to any duty of Mr. Meadows’s, Mr. Clark’s, or Mr. Trump’s office. "Removal would be perverse, as this prosecution arises from interference with state-government operations and seeks to vindicate Georgia’s voice in a federal election, the very contest from which federal authority flows." Trump could ask for similar protection as president but has not formally asked the court to consider moving his case at this time.

CNN —A federal judge on Wednesday rejected efforts by former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and ex-Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark to avoid arrest if they fail to turn themselves in by Friday’s deadline in the Georgia election subversion case. US District Judge Steve Jones declined the emergency requests by Meadows and Clark, who are both trying to move Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ prosecution to federal court. Meadows argued he should be allowed to avoid processing in the Fulton County election subversion case that has been brought against former President Donald Trump and 18 others ahead of a hearing scheduled Monday. Such rulings would require state court proceedings for entire case – for all the defendants – to automatically be paused and moved to federal court, Clark argued in court filings earlier this week. She submitted to the federal court a state court ruling during those proceedings that described the special grand jury as criminal in nature.

Donald Trump must surrender to Fulton County, Georgia, authorities by August 25. When you voluntarily surrender, you turn yourself in at a precinct of your own accord instead of being taken into custody by officials. In this case, Trump and his 18 allies must surrender to Fulton County authorities. Once they surrender, they will be booked and processed at the Fulton County Jail, which could include being fingerprinted and taking mugshots. In June, Trump voluntarily appeared in Miami court for arraignment after being accused of taking classified documents from the White House and bringing them to his home at Mar-a-Lago, hiding them from authorities.
