CNN reports that former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is cooperating with the House January 6th special committee, providing information and material to the committee and scheduling an appearance to answer members’ questions.
“Mr. Meadows has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney,” Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi who chairs the committee said in a statement. “He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition. The Select Committee expects all witnesses, including Mr. Meadows, to provide all information requested and that the Select Committee is lawfully entitled to receive. The Committee will continue to assess his degree of compliance with our subpoena after the deposition.”
The committee and Meadows have created a way for Meadows to provide information to the committee, a break from other Trump loyalists who have resisted committee subpoenas and ignored requests for information as Trump continues his crusade to undermine the results of the 2020 election.
