"Mark Meadows' Appeals Denied in Georgia Election Interference Case"

A federal appeals panel denied Mark Meadows's request for a new hearing to move the Georgia election interference case against him from state to federal court, a setback in his efforts to shift the case on the grounds of being a federal officer at the time of the actions. Meadows's lawyer expressed disappointment and mentioned considering options, including a possible review by the U.S. Supreme Court. The indictment alleges Meadows participated in a criminal enterprise to overturn the 2020 election results, and the decision could also impact four other defendants seeking removal of their cases to federal court.
