"Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter."
"The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election."
"According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being ;dishonest' with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in."
Sources said Meadows informed Smith's team he had REPEATEDLY told Trump in the wks after the 2020 election that the allegations of significant voting #fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election. #law
#MarkMeadows also told the federal investigators #Trump was being "dishonest" w/the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov 3, 2020, before final results were in.
(duh.)
"Obviously we didn't win," a source quoted #Meadows as telling #JackSmith's team in hindsight.
Trump has called Meadows, one of TFG's closest & highest-ranking aides, a "special friend" & "a great chief of staff -- as good as it gets."
(He’s likely already trashing him)
ABC News ID’d several assertions in #MeadowsBook that contradict what he told investigators.
Acc/to #MarkMeadows’ book, the election was "stolen" & "rigged" w/help from "allies in the liberal media," who ignored "actual evidence of fraud, right there in plain sight for anyone to access & analyze."
But, as described to ABC, #MarkMeadows privately told #JackSmith's investigators that -- to this day -- he has yet to see any evidence of fraud that would have kept now-president Joe #Biden from the WhiteHouse,
& he told them HE AGREES w/a govt assessment at the time that the #2020election was THE MOST SECURE ELECTION IN US HISTORY.
…public testimony has shown that in the weeks after the election, #MarkMeadows helped Trump vet allegations of #fraud that were making their way to #Trump from people like #RudyGiuliani….
But #Meadows said that by mid-Dec, he privately told Trump that Giuliani hadn't produced ANY #evidence to back up the many (inane) allegations he was making. Then-AG #BillBarr also told Trump & Meadows in an Oval Office meeting that allegations of election fraud were "not panning out”….
#MarkMeadows repeatedly said publicly he thought "a number of allegations" warranted "further investigation," & that he "hadn't reached a conclusion" on the election by late Dec.
On Dec 11, 2020 when #SCOTUS denied his final court challenge, #Trump told Meadows something to the effect of, "Then that's the end," or, "So that's it," #Meadows told investigators.
Still, Trump cont’d insisting there was widespread fraud but that the #DOJ wasn't "looking for it," Barr said.
#Meadows has said publicly that he essentially introduced everyone on the call -- which is corroborated by transcripts of the call that were made public -- & he has said he was simply trying to help them resolve a dispute over GA's election results.
Ex-Chief of staff Mark Meadows who exchanged texts with 34 members of congress to overthrow the government then later burned piles of evidence just flipped.
He testified under oath at least three times already

MAJOR BREAKING: ABC News reports that Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows was granted IMMUNITY by special counsel Jack Smith and has spoken with Smith's team at least 3 times this year, providing damning evidence against Trump.
I got what you mean, but im assuming many folks might not watch or listen to #msnbc
#SNL is deffinitly doing this next Saturday 😜 (and the #markmeadows shoe drop)
Actually the #arimelber show after #NicolleWallace show just played the main apology but if folks want to see the longer clip from #DeadlineWhitehouse skip to to the 15min point
@GottaLaff
🥥 Good news for #MarkMeadows that he could cop to a plea deal with #JackSmith.
But that's definitely BAD news for #Trump.
Meadows reportedly told federal prosecutors that even though he publicly stated the the 2020 election was "stolen." he's never seen any evidence that it was.
Burn that shitheel's ass down. 🥥
