Former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified in federal court seeking immunity from the criminal charges filed against him in Georgia. Meadows argued that his actions fell within the scope of his federal duties as chief of staff and should be protected from state law charges. If the judge agrees, the case may be moved to federal court and Meadows could be immune from prosecution. However, Meadows' appearance on the witness stand also exposed him to cross examination by the prosecution and locked him into a specific description of events. The charges against Meadows include racketeering and soliciting Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to violate his oath of office. Prosecutors claim that Meadows participated in meetings and communications aimed at advancing an illegal scheme to overturn the election. The outcome of Meadows' bid for immunity will have significant implications for the larger case against Trump and other defendants. A decision on whether the charges will be dismissed or moved to federal court is expected in the near future.
