The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court, leaving the charges against him to proceed in state court. Meadows, former White House chief of staff under Donald Trump, was indicted alongside Trump and others for allegedly attempting to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. Meadows argued that the actions were part of his federal duties, seeking immunity similar to Trump's recent federal immunity ruling. However, lower courts, including the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, determined that his actions were not protected under federal statutes as they occurred after his federal service had ended. This decision marks a victory for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who aims to prosecute the case in state court. The proceedings are currently paused as an appeal regarding Willis's role in the case is underway.
