The Eleventh Circuit affirmed denial of Meadows' attempt to remove the Georgia election case to federal court. It held that the statute did not cover former federal officers and, independently, that alleged campaign activity to change certified election results was outside the chief of staff's official duties. The ruling decided forum and official-duty questions, not guilt on the state counts.

Georgia's replacement prosecutor dismissed the remaining election-interference case against Trump and the other defendants, including Giuliani and Meadows, concluding the matter could not be responsibly continued. The disposition ended those state charges without a conviction or acquittal on the facts. It does not reverse separate attorney-discipline and civil findings against Giuliani.
