Mark Meadows presents threat to 'high-level officials' who aided Trump's insurrection

Raw Story  

Mark Meadows has reportedly reached an immunity agreement with special counsel Jack Smith in exchange for his testimony. The former White House chief of staff has, according to reports, spoken to Smith's team at least three times, including once before a federal grand jury that indicted Trump in August on four counts related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, but legal expert Kim Wehle wrote in a new column for The Bulwark that Meadows poses a threat to other current and former government officials. "Meadows’s cooperation is significant for a number of reasons, including that he was at the heart of everything related to the Trump 'Stop the Steal' effort, including the pressure campaign on Vice President Mike Pence and the fake electors scheme in several states," wrote Wehle, a former assistant U.S. attorney. A number of administration officials and Republican lawmakers, including newly elected House speaker Mike Johnson assisted Trump in his wide-ranging effort to remain in the White House despite losing the election, and Meadows can tell prosecutors about the depth of their involvement. "Meadows might also illuminate the involvement of other high-level officials whose participation in the criminal enterprise that produced the January 6th insurrection has yet to appear in any indictment."
