Former Trump aide Mark Meadows seeks emergency stay of Georgia election case as he appeals federal court bid denial
- Mark Meadows is appealing the rejection of his bid to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court.
- Meadows has filed an emergency motion to pause the state case while his appeal proceeds, concerned he could be convicted before it's resolved.
- A federal judge ruled Meadows' alleged actions were political, not within his duties as White House chief of staff.
- Meadows is charged alongside Donald Trump and 17 others with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
- The prosecution aims to try Meadows and co-defendants in October, so Meadows is urging swift action on his federal appeal.
