TL;DR Summary

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is attempting to have his Georgia charges moved to federal court, arguing that he was acting in his role as a federal official when aiding former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. However, judges seem unconvinced, stating that not all actions taken as chief of staff can be considered within Meadows' official duties. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to decide whether individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack can be charged under a federal law that makes it a crime to obstruct an official congressional proceeding. This marks the start of a new phase in Trump's legal battles, potentially delaying or derailing his federal trial for election interference.
