Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal describes a federal appeals court's rejection of Mark Meadows' bid to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court as a "total body slam." The ruling affirms a federal judge's decision and complicates the Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump and other defendants. Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, argued that the charges against him relate to his work as a federal official, but the judge ruled that he does not qualify for a transfer because he is no longer a federal official. Katyal believes that an appeal to the Supreme Court is unlikely to succeed, and suggests that Meadows may need to cut a deal with the prosecutor overseeing the case.
