Mark Meadows, who served as President Donald Trump’s last chief of staff, was granted immunity by special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election.
Meadows, in exchange for his testimony under oath, reportedly told Smith that he repeatedly told the president in the weeks after the election that allegations of widespread voting fraud in the election were without merit, ABC News reported in October 2023.
Meadows, ABC News said, told investigators that Trump was being “dishonest” by claiming that he won the election.
“The descriptions of what Meadows allegedly told investigators shed further light on the evidence Smith’s team has amassed as it prosecutes Trump for allegedly trying to unlawfully retain power and ‘spread lies’ about the 2020 election,” ABC said.
Meadow’s testimony under oath contradicts what he wrote in his book that the election was “stolen” and “rigged” with help from “allies in the liberal media,” who ignored “actual evidence of fraud, right there in plain sight for anyone to access and analyze.”

This include shrinking the federal government so much it would be controlled by then-President Donald Trump and his cadre of ne’er-do-wells.
It also included trying to repeal ObamaCare, which has saved the lives of an estimated 20,000 people.
