Mark Meadows Testifies Before Federal Grand Jury in Special Counsel Probe
Ex-Trump Chief of Staff Granted Immunity to Testify Under Oath, Sources Say
Key Figure in Inquiries Related to January 6th Attack
Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has testified before a federal grand jury in Atlanta as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith's ongoing investigation into the January 6th attack on the Capitol, according to CNN sources.
Meadows, who served as the final chief of staff under President Donald Trump, is considered a key figure in the probe due to his proximity to Trump during the events leading up to and including the attack. Sources say that Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, which would protect him from self-incrimination in exchange for his full cooperation.
It is unclear exactly what Meadows testified about before the grand jury, but his appearance is a significant development in the investigation. It suggests that Smith is actively pursuing leads and gathering evidence related to the actions of Trump and his allies in the lead-up to and aftermath of the Capitol siege.
Meadows' testimony comes as part of a wider effort by Smith to investigate the January 6th attack and determine whether Trump or any of his associates committed crimes in connection with the events that day. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unknown when or if any charges will be filed.
