Mark Meadows granted immunity in Trump DC election case: Report

Mark Meadows reached an immunity deal with the Department of Justice ahead of testifying before a federal grand jury this year in the case against former President Donald Trump related to the 2020 election, according to a report.

Meadows, Trump’s former chief of staff, reportedly testified that he informed Trump repeatedly after the election that allegations of widespread voter fraud were baseless, according to ABC News, which cited unnamed “sources familiar with the matter.”

The grand jury testimony was among at least three occasions that Meadows met with federal investigators this year, the outlet reported, noting Meadows also told the investigators that Trump’s declaration on Nov. 3, 2020, that he had won the election was “dishonest.”

The deal reportedly protected Meadows from federal investigators using anything he said during his testimony against him.

Special counsel Jack Smith brought four felonies against Trump in August over allegations he illegally attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Smith’s charges included conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.

The special counsel also detailed how Trump allegedly worked with six co-conspirators to carry out the alleged crimes, and while they are unnamed in the indictment, the details about the co-conspirators are revealing enough to deduce who they are.

Meadows, one of Trump’s closest confidantes during the 2020 election and the weeks after it, is not one of the co-conspirators.

Meadows is however facing charges in a separate case in Georgia brought against him, Trump, and 17 other co-defendants over similar election-related allegations.

Four co-defendants have pleaded guilty through plea deals that will require them to testify truthfully in the Georgia case’s trial. Meadows has not entered a plea and is in the appeal stage of attempting to move his case to federal court.

Trump, the GOP front-runner in the 2024 presidential race, shared a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, about the report from ABC News.

The post was a comment from Meadows attorney George Terwilliger to a CBS News reporter, saying, “I told ABC that their story was largely inaccurate. People will have to judge for themselves the decision to run it anyway.”
