Mark Meadows wants Fulton County charges moved to federal court

Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump's ex-chief of staff, is seeking to have charges against him in a sweeping Georgia racketeering case moved to federal court.

Meadows and Trump were among 19 people indicted Monday night in a case accusing them of acting as a "criminal enterprise" in their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election after Trump's defeat.

Meadows was charged with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. He was on a recorded phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, in which Trump asked Raffensperger to "find" 11,780 votes — the number he'd need to wipe out Joe Biden's victory in the state.
