Mark Meadows, former chief of staff in the Trump White House, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to toss out the 2020 election interference case against him.

Meadows argues the Supreme Court's recent Trump presidential immunity ruling applies to his conduct. This conduct, Meadows argues, was pursuant to his official duties, The Washington Post reported.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, affirming a lower court, rejected this argument seven months ago. The Eleventh Circuit held that Meadows failed to show his conduct was pursuant to his official duties.

Meadows' Supreme Court petition criticizes this decision as "egregiously wrong, wholly unprecedented, and exceptionally dangerous."
