Mark Meadows Fights to Move Georgia Election Interference Case to Federal Court
TL;DR
Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has filed an emergency motion requesting a stay in his Fulton County, Georgia, election interference case after a judge rejected his bid to have the case moved to federal court. Meadows and 18 others, including former President Donald Trump, are facing charges in a racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The judge ruled that Meadows' involvement in arranging a phone call where Trump asked Georgia's Secretary of State to "find" votes was "campaign-related political activity" and not within his official duties as chief of staff. Meadows intends to seek expedited review in the Court of Appeals.
