00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 An appeals court has denied former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows bid to move
00:07 his criminal charges in Georgia to federal court could have derailed the case against
00:11 Meadows and potentially led to his dismissal. Meadows is facing racketeering charges in Georgia
00:16 for his role in Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
00:20 However, the appeals court ruled that the law Meadows cited for transferring state charges
00:25 only applies to current not former officials. Even if Meadows was still a government official,
00:30 the court said his actions regarding the 2020 election fell outside his official duties as
00:35 chief of staff. The ruling means Meadows and others charged will have to face the charges
00:40 in state court in Georgia as the district attorney pursuing the case wants. For all
