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

Former President Donald Trump had some of the charges against him dismissed in the Georgia election interference case, but the judge's ruling suggests that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may not be disqualified from the prosecution. The decision to strike down some charges may help balance the scales if the judge wants to keep Willis on the case. The six charges dismissed were related to efforts to solicit Georgia officials into violating their oaths of office, but prosecutors could seek a new indictment on these counts.

"Mark Meadows' Dodging Tactics Fail to Convince Judges in Georgia Election Subversion Trial"

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is attempting to have his Georgia charges moved to federal court, arguing that he was acting in his role as a federal official when aiding former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. However, judges seem unconvinced, stating that not all actions taken as chief of staff can be considered within Meadows' official duties. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to decide whether individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack can be charged under a federal law that makes it a crime to obstruct an official congressional proceeding. This marks the start of a new phase in Trump's legal battles, potentially delaying or derailing his federal trial for election interference.

Mark Meadows Requests Dismissal of Georgia Charges in Election Interference Case

Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows has asked a federal court to dismiss charges brought against him by Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutors, arguing that the charges relate to his role as a federal official working for then-President Donald Trump and that he should have immunity. Meadows' attorneys assert that his actions were within the scope of his duties as Chief of Staff and that he is not accused of violating any federal law. Meadows is accused of connecting with officials in multiple states on Trump's behalf to discuss the election and Electoral College certification. He has also requested to move his case from state to federal court and wants the proceedings to move quickly.
