An appeals court on Sept. 13 agreed to hear oral arguments on an emergency motion filed by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows related to the charges listed against him in the Fulton County, Georgia election-racketeering case.

Attorneys for Mr. Meadows filed an emergency motion with the court this month seeking to pause criminal proceedings in the Georgia election case while he appeals a lower court’s order denying his effort to have the case removed to federal court.
