Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has reportedly secured an immunity deal and told special counsel Jack Smith's grand jury that he informed then-President Donald Trump that claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election were baseless.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows speaks with reporters outside the White House, Monday, Oct. 26, 2020, in Washington.
Mr. Meadows told federal investigators that Mr. Trump was being “dishonest” about his election claims starting on Election Night and that their side “obviously didn’t win,” according to the report. Mr. Trump contends that he did nothing wrong and Mr. Smith, under the auspices of the Biden administration’s Department of Justice, is trying to thwart his 2024 presidential bid.
The report also says Mr. Meadows described Mr. Trump’s delay in responding to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, though he says Mr. Trump grew concerned over time, particularly when he heard that Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt had been fatally shot trying to enter the House chamber.
