We have breaking news tonight involving the case against Donald Trump and his alleged

co-conspirators in the state of Georgia.

testifying that he never did anything in Georgia on behalf of Donald Trump personally

or on behalf of Trump's presidential campaign.

He said he was only ever acting in his official duties as a member of Trump's White House

Staff.

And Meadows succeeded in getting his case moved to federal court.

It would have been a huge win for him.

And it would have meant that the jury in this case would not have been selected from Fulton
