Supreme Court Denies Mark Meadows' Appeal in Georgia Case

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to move former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' Georgia election interference charges to federal court, a decision that leaves him facing state charges. Meadows, indicted alongside others for allegedly conspiring to keep Trump in office post-2020 election, argued for federal jurisdiction due to his former federal role, but the 11th Circuit Court ruled his actions were unrelated to official duties. Separately, the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to New York's rent control law, despite Justice Gorsuch's interest, maintaining the status quo on tenant protections.
