Supreme Court Denies Mark Meadows' Bid to Move Georgia Election Case

The Supreme Court has rejected Mark Meadows' appeal to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court. Meadows, former White House chief of staff, argued for the transfer on the grounds of acting as a "federal officer" during the events in question, seeking immunity from prosecution. However, lower courts, including the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruled against him, stating that the actions were not related to his official duties and he is no longer a federal official. Meadows, along with 18 other defendants including Donald Trump, faces charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
