State prosecutors in Georgia are pushing for the continuation of election subversion charges against former President Donald Trump's ex-chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Meadows, indicted in Fulton County on racketeering and related charges, is accused of involvement in efforts to alter the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia at Trump's behest. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Meadows is seeking to move his case to federal court under a Reconstruction-era law meant to protect federal officials from state prosecutions. The crux of the matter lies in determining whether Meadows' actions were carried out in his official capacity as White House chief of staff or as a private individual.
