Mark Meadows wants Fulton County charges moved to federal court
CBSN
Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump's ex-chief of staff, is seeking to have charges against him in a sweeping Georgia racketeering case moved to federal court.
Meadows and Trump were among 19 people indicted Monday night in a case accusing them of acting as a "criminal enterprise" in their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election after Trump's defeat.
Meadows was charged with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. He was on a recorded phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, in which Trump asked Raffensperger to "find" 11,780 votes — the number he'd need to wipe out Joe Biden's victory in the state.

As vaccination rates decline, widespread outbreaks of diseases like measles and polio could reemerge
Health officials in western Texas are trying to contain a measles outbreak among mostly school-aged children, with at least 15 confirmed cases. It's the latest outbreak of a disease that had been virtually eliminated in the U.S., and it comes as vaccination rates are declining — jeopardizing the country's herd immunity from widespread outbreaks.
