Supreme Court Denies Mark Meadows' Bid to Move Georgia Election Case

The Supreme Court has denied Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia election subversion case to federal court, preventing him from claiming immunity. Meadows, indicted on racketeering charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, argued that his actions were part of his official duties as White House chief of staff. However, lower courts and the Supreme Court found his actions were unofficial, thus not warranting federal immunity. The case remains in state court as related appeals continue.
