An appeals court has denied former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows' bid to move his criminal charges in Georgia to federal court, which could have derailed the case against Meadows and potentially led to its dismissal. Meadows is facing racketeering charges in Georgia for his role in Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. However, the appeals court ruled that the law Meadows cited for transferring state charges only applies to current, not former, officials.
