Supreme Court denies Meadows’ bid to move Georgia case to federal court
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ attempt to transfer his Georgia election interference case to federal court.
Meadows was indicted for his role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
He has argued that the case should be heard federally due to his position as a federal official.
However, prosecutors have countered that Meadows was not acting within his official duties when he allegedly participated in the scheme.
The case will remain in Georgia courts, where Meadows and 15 others, including President-elect Donald Trump, face charges.
Although four co-defendants have pleaded guilty, Trump and Meadows have denied wrongdoing.
The legal battle continues, with an appeals court reviewing the case’s procedural issues, including a challenge against the district attorney overseeing it.
