The Justice Department might be looking to charge Mark Meadows: ex-Mueller prosecutor

Raw Story  

More and more information is coming in about the Justice Department probe on Jan. 6 revealing that it has gone beyond the violence and moved into the attempt to overthrow the election. Speaking to MSNBC on Wednesday, former Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann explained that he thinks Mark Meadows is likely going to be charged along with others in higher-level positions. "And I think that what you're ultimately going to have to see is the department trying to get witnesses and putting pressure on or charging people like Mark Meadows. And I think you'll see the department pushing on that, in order to get more evidence and just quickly switching to the John Eastman phone that was obtained only June 22nd pursuant to a warrant." He also explained that the news from the Washington Post on Tuesday night about the grand jury asking questions about Donald Trump means that he's a "subject" of the probe, which is a broad category.
