"Appeals Court Denies Mark Meadows' Attempt to Transfer Georgia Election Subversion Case to Federal Court"

Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has been denied his attempt to move his Georgia election interference criminal case to federal court. The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Meadows' argument that the allegations were connected to his official duties, stating that his role did not include altering valid election results. Moving the case to federal court could have allowed Meadows to invoke federal immunity and potentially have the charges dismissed. Meadows was charged with violating Georgia's RICO law and attempting to solicit the Georgia Secretary of State to violate his oath of office.
