Legal expert 'gobsmacked' after Mark Meadows jeopardizes 5th Amendment rights with testimony
Raw StoryLegal experts said they were "absolutely gobsmacked" on Monday after former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows offered surprise testimony in court. Hosts of the Opening Arguments podcast, run by attorney Andrew Torrez and legal journalist Liz Dye, reacted to Meadows' decision to testify on his own behalf at a federal court hearing arguments about whether his Georgia election interference case should be removed from state court. "I'm absolutely gobsmacked that Mark Meadows would testify at today's evidentiary hearing in connection with his efforts to remove his indictment in Fulton County, GA to federal Court," one host wrote on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "GA law seems particularly bad on waiver; Carter v State 288 SE2d 749 says a voluntary waiver on any fact 'is a waiver as to all other relevant facts,'" the post added.
