A federal judge on Monday rejected Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move his 2020 Arizona election fraud case to federal court. Meadows had argued that his actions in Arizona were within his “official duties” as Trump's aide.
The former White House Chief of Staff was indicted earlier this year along with 17 other Trump allies for their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in several states where President Joe Biden won the popular vote. In Arizona, judges alleged Meadows worked with Trump campaign members to submit names of fake electors in attempt to certify a false win for Trump.
