Judge rejects Meadows' bid to move Georgia election case to federal court - Roll Call

A federal judge in Georgia on Friday rejected former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ bid to move his election interference case in Georgia to federal court.

Meadows, a former Republican House member from North Carolina, faces two criminal charges in the Georgia racketeering case that accuses former President Donald Trump and others of operating as a “criminal organization” as they sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. 

Meadows was indicted on two charges: on the broader conspiracy and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. He then sought to move the case to federal court and pushed to have the charges thrown out. Attorneys for Meadows said in court filings that his actions fell within the scope of his duties as chief of staff.
