"Clarence Thomas Ally Deals Blow to Trump, Rejects Meadows' Attempt to Move Georgia Election Case to Federal Court"

Judge William Pryor, an ally of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has denied former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' request to move his criminal charges related to the 2020 election results in Georgia into federal court. The ruling suggests conservative opposition to immunity defenses put forth by Donald Trump. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Meadows must face the charges in state court, stating that transfers are only allowed for current government officials and that the charges against Meadows are about actions outside his official duties, making him ineligible for immunity. The decision is seen as a blow to Trump's defense strategy in similar cases.
