Federal Appeals Court Rejects Meadows' Attempt to Move Georgia Election Interference Case
Denied Bid to Move Charges
A federal appeals court has rejected former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move his Georgia election interference case out of state.
Court Ruling
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Meadows cannot move the charges against him to a different venue. The court upheld a lower court's decision that the charges should remain in Georgia, where the alleged crimes took place.
Meadows' Argument
Meadows had argued that he could not receive a fair trial in Georgia due to the state's political climate. However, the appeals court rejected this argument, finding that there was no evidence to support Meadows' claim.
Next Steps
With the appeals court's ruling, the case will now proceed in Georgia. Meadows is facing charges of solicitation of election fraud, conspiracy to commit election fraud, and racketeering.
