Judge poised to rule on ex-Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows' push to remove Georgia election interference case to federal court

Mark Meadows, former Chief of Staff under Donald Trump, is requesting that his case related to the Georgia election interference be moved to federal court, asserting he was functioning as a federal employee during the alleged conspiracy. Prosecutors challenge this, claiming his actions were political, not official. A ruling from Judge Steve Jones is anticipated soon. Meanwhile, another former Trump lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, is seeking to dismiss his state charges, arguing they fall under federal jurisdiction. Meadows' sworn testimony appears to complicate his defense, as he acknowledged involvement in the fake electors scheme citing fear of Trump's reaction.

Meadows argues his case should be in federal court, saying he acted as a federal employee in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, while prosecutors counter his claim.

In a surprising admission, Meadows testified about participating in Trump's fake electors scheme, indicating he might have jeopardized his defense by acknowledging his involvement.
