Georgia probe: US judge orders ex-Trump chief of staff to testify
Al JazeeraThe US state of Georgia is investigating alleged efforts by Donald Trump and his aides to overturn 2020 election results. Donald Trump’s ex-chief of staff has been ordered to testify in an investigation into the former US president’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the US state of Georgia. A South Carolina judge on Wednesday ordered Mark Meadows to testify in the probe, which was launched by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis early last year. Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller in Pickens County, South Carolina honoured McBurney’s finding and ordered Meadows to testify, Willis spokesman Jeff DiSantis confirmed. Earlier this week, US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily blocked a judge’s order requiring Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a top Trump ally, to testify in the investigation.
