Federal Appeals Court Denies Mark Meadows' Attempt to Move Georgia Election Subversion Case to Federal Court

A federal appeals court in Georgia has rejected former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move his Fulton County election interference case to federal court. The court affirmed the lower court's decision, stating that the alleged events were not related to Meadows' official duties. The court also found that the law allowing the removal of criminal proceedings for actions taken as a federal official does not apply to former federal officers. Meadows, along with former President Donald Trump and others, pleaded not guilty to charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
