Mark Meadows: A Risky Gamble in Georgia

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff, and Georgia prosecutors are engaged in a legal battle over whether his election racketeering charges should be moved from local to federal court. Meadows argues that his actions were part of his official duties, while prosecutors claim he was involved in a conspiracy to help Trump overturn the 2020 election. The judge has requested additional written arguments and has yet to make a decision. The outcome of the case could set a precedent for other co-defendants seeking to move their cases to federal court. Meadows is charged with racketeering and soliciting Georgia's Secretary of State to violate his oath of office.
