Mark Meadows' Georgia Election Case Moves to Federal Appeals Court

11th Circuit Court of Appeals Rejects Meadows' Request to Move Case

A federal appeals court has rejected former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' attempt to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Meadows should be tried in Georgia state court, where he is accused of pressuring state officials to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Meadows Files Notice of Appeal

Meadows has filed a notice of appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking to overturn the lower court's decision. He argues that the case should be heard in federal court because it involves federal law and federal officials.

Stay of Proceedings Request Denied

Meadows also requested a stay of proceedings, which would have paused the Georgia court case while his appeal is pending. However, the judge denied the request, ruling that Meadows had not shown a likelihood of success on appeal or irreparable harm if the case proceeded.
