Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows faced setbacks in his attempts to move his criminal cases related to the 2020 election to federal court. The cases in Arizona and Georgia, involving efforts to overturn Trump's election loss, have seen Meadows pleading not guilty to the charges.
In Arizona, Meadows' bid to transfer the case to federal court was rejected by US District Judge John Tuchi, who deemed the effort untimely. The judge also noted that Meadows failed to demonstrate a direct link between the alleged conduct and his official duties as chief of staff.
