"Judge Dismisses Six Charges Against Trump in Georgia Election Case"

A Georgia judge dismissed six charges in the election racketeering case against Donald Trump, ruling them too vague, but left many other charges in place. The dismissed charges dealt with asking public officials to change the election results, with the judge stating they lacked sufficient detail. However, the judge indicated that the problem could be easily remedied, potentially allowing for an updated indictment. Trump and 14 co-defendants are charged with a racketeering conspiracy related to the 2020 election, with the trial yet to be scheduled.

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

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia trial on election racketeering charges to federal court. Meadows, along with four other co-defendants including Donald Trump, are charged with attempting to reverse President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia. The appeals court ruled unanimously that a federal statute allowing for the transfer of cases to federal court does not apply to former officials. The judges stated that the alleged crimes Meadows is charged with were not related to his official duties.
