Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has testified before a federal grand jury hearing evidence in the special counsel’s investigations into former President Donald Trump, according to The New York Times.
Meadows factors into both special counsel Jack Smith’s probes: the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss that culminated in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the probe into his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. It’s unclear whether Meadows testified or if he was asked about one or both cases, according to the report.
The news comes after Trump’s inner circle spent months “puzzled by and wary about the low profile” Meadows has kept in the investigations amid reports of numerous witnesses who have been interviewed by prosecutors. “Meadows has kept largely out of sight, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers believe he could be a significant witness in the inquiries,” The Times reported.
