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

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move an election interference case against him from Georgia to federal court has been rejected by a federal appeals court. The court ruled unanimously that Meadows had not shown that his alleged criminal conduct was related to his duties as chief of staff. The decision marks the end of Meadows' bid to have his case transferred, unless he appeals to the Supreme Court and it agrees to hear the case. Meadows was indicted in August on charges of illegally conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
