Mark Meadows' Defense Strategy Unveiled in Georgia Criminal Charges

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified in federal court in an attempt to have the criminal charges against him, including racketeering and soliciting Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to violate his oath of office, moved out of state court and dismissed. Meadows argued that his actions fell within the scope of his federal duties, potentially granting him immunity from the charges. The hearing also featured the presentation of evidence, including an audio recording of a phone call in which former President Donald Trump urged Raffensperger to "find" votes to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia. The judge did not issue an immediate ruling.
