"Appeals Court Denies Meadows' Request to Move Georgia Election Case to Federal Court"

A federal appeals court has rejected former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move the Fulton County racketeering case against him to federal court. The court ruled unanimously that Meadows, as a former federal official, has no right to do so, as the alleged events were not related to his official duties. The court upheld a ruling from U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, stating that Meadows was not acting in his federal capacity when he took action in Georgia following the 2020 election. Meadows is expected to appeal the ruling.
