The former White House chief of staff had argued that the charges against him in Fulton County related to his actions as a federal official serving in the Trump administration.
“The DA’s office countered that White House officials shouldn’t be involved in political campaigns. “Federal law prohibits employees of the executive branch from engaging in political activity in the course of their work,” they noted, pointing to the Hatch Act, a law Meadows once told Politico “nobody outside of the Beltway really cares” about.”
It’s the ring road that sounds Washington DC and it’s inner suburbs in Virginia and Maryland. The designation is 495 of you are really curious about the road itself for some reason.
Should have just let Trump yell at him.

Refers to the Capital Beltway, so greater Washington, DC, including some of Virginia and Maryland.
