Summary
The Supreme Court has turned down an appeal from Mark Meadows, former Trump chief of staff, to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court. This decision leaves in place a ruling from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals which stated that Meadows, no longer a federal official, could not seek federal immunity regarding the charges against him. The case involves accusations linked to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, with Meadows pleading not guilty alongside 18 other defendants, including Trump.
