Supreme Court Rejects Mark Meadows' Bid to Move Georgia Case to Federal Court

The decision keeps the former Trump aide's charges in state court, complicating his defense strategy.

Mark Meadows, former White House Chief of Staff, sought to transfer his Georgia election interference case to federal court, claiming actions were part of his official duties.
The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case upholds lower court rulings that Meadows' actions did not warrant federal jurisdiction.
Meadows is charged alongside Donald Trump and others in a racketeering case aiming to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
The court's decision leaves Meadows to face charges in Fulton County, known for its Democratic leanings, potentially impacting jury selection.
The case remains paused pending a Georgia appeals court review of District Attorney Fani Willis' involvement, amid allegations of misconduct.
