Mr. Meadows has the right to remove this matter. The conduct giving rise to
the charges in the indictment all occurred during his tenure and as part of his service
as Chief of Staff. In these circumstances, federal law provides for prompt removal
of a “criminal prosecution . . . commenced in a State court . . . against or directed to”
a federal official, “in an official or individual capacity, for or relating to any act
under color of [his] office.” 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1). The removal statute “protect[s]
the Federal Government from the interference with its operations that would ensue
were a State able, for example, to arrest and bring to trial in a State court for an
Case 1:23-cv-03621-SCJ Document 1 Filed 08/15/23 Page 1 of 14

alleged offense against the law of the State, officers and agents of the Federal
Government acting within the scope of their authority.” Watson v. Philip Morris
Companies, Inc., 551 U.S. 142, 150 (2007) (cleaned up).0F
