Justices Reject Mark Meadows’ Request to Move Case

“The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to let Mark Meadows move his Georgia election subversion case to federal court, effectively barring the former chief of staff during Donald Trump’s first term from claiming immunity from those charges,” CNN reports.

NBC News: “The argument failed in lower courts, with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluding that because Meadows is no longer a federal official, the provision that would allow the case to be moved to federal court does not apply to him.”

“The appeals court also found that even if he was deemed to be a federal officer, ‘the events giving rise to this criminal action were not related to Meadows’ official duties.'”
