Meadows case to remain in Fulton County | Georgia
SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Mark Meadows’ appeal to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court. Indicted by a Fulton County Grand Jury, Meadows faces charges of soliciting the violation of oath and conspiracy related to efforts to overturn election results, alongside 18 others, including Trump. Lower courts ruled against Meadows, stating he was not acting as a federal officer, and his actions did not pertain to his official duties. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case is currently on hold as an Appeals Court reviews claims regarding District Attorney Fani Willis’ potential conflict of interest.
