Nov 12, 2024, 02:47 PM

The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who sought to move his Georgia election interference case from state to federal court. Meadows, a former aide to Donald Trump, was involved in a criminal case related to the 2020 election in Georgia. His attempt to shift the venue to federal court, where he might have had a more favorable legal environment, was rejected by the Supreme Court, leaving the case to proceed in Georgia state court. The case, brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, involves charges under Georgia's RICO statute.
