A federal appeals court declined on Tuesday to reconsider former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’s request to transfer his 2020 election interference case in Georgia to federal court, closing off his last-ditch attempt to move the potential trial to a more favorable venue.
The decision from the US court of appeals for the 11th circuit means Meadows will face the racketeering charges brought by the Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis in state court in Atlanta unless he makes a final challenge to the US supreme court and it agrees to hear the case.
