Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, suddenly backs out of cooperating with Jan. 6 probe

Salon  

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows will no longer comply with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, his lawyer told Fox News on Tuesday, despite having previously agreed to cooperate. Meadows, a top ally to former president Donald Trump, and his attorney George Terwilliger, plan to notify the special committee on Tuesday morning that they will discontinue their assistance. Other top Trump aides have fallen in hot water for their lack of cooperation, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. And while Meadows has backed away from the investigation, another top aide from the former administration has agreed to cooperate with the committee: former vice president Mike Pence's ex-chief of staff, Marc Short.
