"Mark Meadows' Push for Federal Intervention in Georgia Election Interference Case Continues"

Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is seeking to move the election interference charges against him in Georgia from state court to federal court. Meadows, along with former President Donald Trump and 17 others, was charged with conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. He has pleaded not guilty and argues that the charges should be moved to federal court based on a law that allows for the removal of criminal proceedings when someone is charged for actions taken as a federal official. The appeal comes after a federal judge denied Meadows' previous request to move the case. A panel of judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments on Friday.
