Supreme Court blocks ex-Trump aide's request in major Georgia legal case

The nations highest court made a key-decision on nov 12th‚ stopping Mark Meadows from moving his Georgia legal case to federal court system. The ex-white house chief-of-staff wanted to shift the case away from state jurisdiction; however the Supreme Court didnt agree with his request

The case is part of a wide-ranging Georgia investigation that brought charges against 19 people (including Meadows) for their post-election actions. The stateʼs prosecutors say these people took part in activities to change the twenty-twenty election outcome: which went against Donald Trump

Last week Trump got re-elected for another four years‚ which creates questions about the trial timing — legal experts think its unlikely any court proceedings will happen during his time in office. Both Trump and Meadows say they did nothing wrong; the case remains active in Georgiaʼs state court system
