Mark Meadows Testifies in Trump Investigation
Former Chief of Staff Faces Charges in Georgia
Meadows Argues Immunity Due to Official Duties
Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows testified in a federal court in Atlanta on Monday, December 19, 2023. Meadows, who served as President Donald Trump's final chief of staff, is facing two charges in the Georgia racketeering case related to his alleged involvement in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
During his testimony, Meadows argued that he viewed nearly everything he did as part of his official duties and therefore should be granted immunity from prosecution. However, prosecutors maintain that Meadows' actions went beyond his official role and that he was involved in a criminal conspiracy to undermine the election.
The trial is expected to last several weeks and is being closely watched as a potential key figure in inquiries related to Trump's attempts to overturn the election. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for both Meadows and Trump, who is also facing a criminal investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney.
