"Ex-DOJ Official's Grim Outlook for Meadows After Failed Attempt to Move Georgia Election Case"
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal describes a federal appeals court's rejection of Mark Meadows' bid to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court as a "total body slam."

Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, argued that the charges against him relate to his work as a federal official, but the judge ruled that he does not qualify for a transfer because he is no longer a federal official. Katyal believes that an appeal to the Supreme Court is unlikely to succeed, and suggests that Meadows may need to cut a deal with the prosecutor overseeing the case.
