Trump’s Chief of Staff is Now COOPERATING with Jan 6th Witch Hunt … MEANWHILE …
STEADFAST DAILY | By Paul Duke | November 30, 2021
The January 6th select committee has long been considered a bit of a joke by many conservatives, who can see through the carefully constructed veil that the bipartisan-in-name-only group is hiding behind.
The investigation they are pursuing is essentially a re-trying of Donald Trump’ second impeachment, except that, this time, the left will be in control of the outcome.
Unsurprisingly, this has made it difficult to find folks in Trump’s inner circle who are willing to testify before the committee. This week, one of the major holdouts finally caved.
Mark Meadows, who served as former President Donald Trump’s last chief of staff and was involved in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, is now cooperating with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the panel, said in a statement that Meadows has been “engaging” with the panel through his lawyer, providing records to the committee “and will soon appear for an initial deposition.”
There was some mixed messaging coming out of Washington on the subject.
“Mr. Meadows has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney. He has produced records to the committee and will soon appear for an initial deposition,” the committee said in a statement Tuesday. “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.”
His lawyer initially said Meadows wouldn’t cooperate with the committee because of Trump’s plans to assert executive privilege, an argument dismissed by the committee, whose members will vote this week to hold former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark in contempt of Congress for ignoring the panel’s subpoenas.
“As we have from the beginning, we continue to work with the Select Committee and its staff to see if we can reach an accommodation that does not require Mr. Meadows to waive Executive Privilege or to forfeit the long-standing position that senior White House aides cannot be compelled to testify before Congress,” Meadows’ attorney George Terwilliger said in a statement Tuesday. “We appreciate the Select Committee’s openness to receiving voluntary responses on non-privileged topics.”
The committee has been eyeing some major media figures as well, having subpoenaed not only Steven Bannon, but now Alex Jones and Roger Stone as well.
