I'm Laura Coates and welcome to CNN tonight. Look, there was a huge legal decision in the

0:11.3

Fulton County elections of version case involving the person right there with the name

0:15.5

denied on top of his photo. It's what the question is. It's the defendant's, of course, who

0:20.4

wanted to move their cases from Georgia to federal court. And a judge said, no, no,

0:26.4

to Mark Meadows. Then, of course, he was Trump's right hand man and his move to his criminal

0:31.7

case to federal court is obviously not going to happen. So what's going to happen now

0:35.2

is, well, he's already appealed. This is not just about him, though. He is the first

0:40.2

of five defendants who filed motions to move the elections of version case to federal

has now been fired. But let's remember, this is a fugitive who's absolutely nothing to

1:31.4

lose. By the way, there was a warrant out for his arrest in his native Brazil as well.

1:36.2

He's already been sentenced life without the possibility of parole for the brutal murder

1:40.8

of his ex-girlfriend. She was stabbed to death over 30 times, in front of her two young

1:45.9

children. And we've got breaking news tonight on the deadly earthquake in Morocco that's

1:51.1

killed nearly 300 people and the toll seems to be rising. By what I begin with the biggest
