Federal Judge Denies Mark Meadows' Request to Move Georgia Case

Move comes after Jones refused to pause his decision

Case will remain in Georgia state court

A federal judge has denied former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' request to move his Georgia election interference charges under federal jurisdiction. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones rejected Meadows' request on Monday, stating that the case will remain in Georgia state court.

Meadows had argued that the charges against him were politically motivated and that he would not receive a fair trial in Georgia. However, Jones did not agree with this assessment, finding that there was no evidence to support Meadows' claims.

The prosecution of Meadows for attempting to overturn the 2020 election will now proceed in Georgia state court. This is a significant development in the case, as it means that Meadows will not be able to avoid facing the charges against him.

The decision by Jones is a blow to Meadows, who had hoped to have the case moved to federal court. It is also a victory for the prosecution, which believes that Meadows should be held accountable for his actions.
