Judges Skeptical of Mark Meadows' Attempt to Avoid Charges in Georgia Court

Federal appeals court judges expressed skepticism regarding Mark Meadows' argument that his election interference case should be transferred from state to federal court. Meadows, charged with two felonies, claims that as a former federal official, his case should be moved to a federal court for better protection of his rights. However, the judges raised concerns about certain aspects of Meadows' appeal and pointed out that the removal statute only applies to current federal officials. The case, being considered on an expedited basis, may ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to keep the proceedings in state court, while Meadows hopes for a broader jury pool and arguments of immunity in federal court.
