Federal Court Rejects Meadows' Attempt to Move Georgia Case
Former Trump Chief of Staff Seeks to Dismiss Election Investigation
Appeals Court Refuses to Reconsider Chief of Staff's Request
A federal court has rejected Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia election investigation to federal court. Meadows, former White House chief of staff under President Donald Trump, is facing charges of voter fraud in connection with the 2020 election.
On Tuesday, a federal appeals court panel declined to reconsider Meadows' initial request. The court ruled that Meadows had not met the necessary criteria to move the case to federal court. The appeals court also rejected Meadows' argument that he was being politically targeted by the Fulton County DA's office.
Meadows had argued that the charges against him were politically motivated and that he could not receive a fair trial in Fulton County. However, the court found that Meadows had not provided evidence to support these claims.
The rejection of Meadows' request is a significant setback in his attempt to dismiss the charges against him. He now faces the prospect of a trial in Fulton County, where the charges against him are likely to be heard by a jury that could be more critical of his actions.
