Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has struck a plea deal for “lesser” federal charges, cooperating in the investigation against President Trump. The weaponization of the legal system against Trump and his supporters continues, as D.C. insiders aim to take down the former president.
In a buried report from the Independent’s Andrew Feinberg, word surfaced that Meadows is trading his testimony for a limited immunity deal in the Trump investigation. The Department of Justice plans to pursue an Espionage Act indictment against Trump, as well as charging him with obstruction of justice during the investigation. Meadows had already testified in front of the grand jury, but this recent news raises questions on the exact details of his cooperation.
The New York Times coverage kept an air of mystery around the Meadows situation, pointing to his “low profile” during the investigations. Despite Meadows’ lawyer George Terwilliger not commenting on his client’s grand jury testimony, concerns still exist about the extent of Meadows’ involvement as a witness in the Trump probes.
While some say reports like these are false, Trump campaign spokesperson Liz Harrington echoes the troubling narrative of the investigation and comments on the “weaponization of our justice system.” As political attacks on Trump and his associates escalate, the question remains if we will still have a constitutional republic.
