Judge denies Mark Meadows' bid to remove his Georgia election case to federal court
Meadows filed notice that he intends to appeal the ruling from Judge Jones.
September 8, 2023
Mark Meadows' bid to move his Fulton County election interference case to federal court.
"Having considered the arguments and the evidence, the Court concludes that Meadows has not met his burden," Judge Steve Jones wrote in a 49-page order.
Meadows has already filed notice with the court that he intends to appeal the ruling from Judge Jones to the eleventh circuit.
The notice of appeal came just hours after he lost his bid to remove the case to federal court.
Meadows had sought to have his case moved based on a federal law that calls for the removal of criminal proceedings brought in state court to the federal court system when someone is charged for actions they allegedly took as a federal official acting "under color" of their office.
