Federal Appeals Court Rejects Mark Meadows' Attempt to Move Georgia Election Case to Federal Court
Former Trump White House Chief of Staff's Appeal Denied
Court Finds State Court Has Jurisdiction Over Allegations of Election Interference
A federal appeals court has rejected former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move his Georgia election case to federal court. The three-judge panel found that the state court has jurisdiction over the allegations of election interference against Meadows.
Meadows is accused of pressuring Georgia election officials to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. He has denied wrongdoing and has argued that the case against him is politically motivated.
The appeals court's ruling is a setback for Meadows, who had hoped to move the case to federal court in an effort to have it dismissed. The state court case is scheduled to go to trial in the coming months.
The allegations against Meadows are part of a larger investigation into election interference by Trump and his allies. Several other former Trump associates have been charged with crimes in connection with the investigation.
The appeals court's ruling is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. It is a reminder that even powerful individuals are not immune to the law.
