Georgia Prosecutor Seeking Testimony From Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell in 2020 Election Probe
The Georgia district attorney investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies for challenging the results of the 2020 election has filed a petition seeking testimony from former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, according to court documents obtained by Politico.
Prosecutor Fani Willis, a Democrat, ordered Meadows to appear for a Sept. 27 interview, documents state.
Willis is also seeking testimony from other Trump allies, including ex-campaign lawyer Sidney Powell and retired U.S. Army Col. James Waldron.
Meadows, a Republican, served as a House representative for North Carolina from 2013 to 2020 when he resigned to join the Trump administration as White House chief of staff.
In the court filing, Willis wrote that Meadows is a “necessary and material witness” to the investigation due to his affiliation with Trump and the Trump campaign and the fact that he was in “constant contact” with the former president in the weeks following the November 2020 election.
In the court filing (pdf), Willis said that Meadows attended a meeting at the White House with Trump and other members of Congress where they discussed “allegations of voter fraud and the certification of the electoral college votes from Georgia and other states.”
She pointed to a Dec. 21 tweet where he stated that “several members of Congress just finished a meeting in the Oval Office with President Trump, preparing to fight back against mounting evidence of voter fraud.”
Willis also cited emails Meadows sent to Justice Department officials in which he made “allegations of voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere” and a phone call that he participated in along with Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in January 2021 in which they discussed alleged voter fraud in Georgia.
Willis says that during the call, Trump said he wanted to find the nearly 12,000 votes needed to win the state.
