Supreme Court Denies Meadows' Bid to Shift Georgia Case

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court, where he claimed immunity from prosecution. Meadows, indicted alongside 18 others for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election results, argued the case should be in federal court due to his role as a federal official. However, both a U.S. district judge and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the case should remain in state court. Meadows plans to continue asserting his innocence in state court.
