It’s becoming increasingly more obvious who flipped on Trump in the January 6 case & why he’s so freaked out about it
lower profile since the one-term, twice-impeached ex-president was indicted by special counsel Jack Smith last week for his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.Now, people have begun to speculate why. “I’ve said all along I think Mark Meadows is already a cooperating witness,” Chris Christie told CNN’s Anderson Cooper last night. “He has all the looks of a cooperating witness, running into coffee shops away from the press.”Asked by Cooper how “devastating” Meadows’ testimony against Trump could be, Christie, who is currently running against Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination for president, replied, “It could be the worst testimony for him outside the family members because Mark Meadows was with him constantly during that time.” “He was a very involved chief of staff, in my experience,” he continued. “He made sure he was in every meeting and every conversation.
And we remember, there are hundreds of text messages that he turned over to the special counsel that he kept.”Many have noted that Meadows is noticeably absent from the DOJ’s most recent indictment against Trump, despite being White House chief of staff during the final year of his presidency, including the weeks after the election when he was (allegedly) conconcting his plot to stay in power.Per Politico:Meadows is barely mentioned in special counsel JACK SMITH’s 45-page indictment, as WSJ’s Siobhan Hughes notes this morning.So what gives? Could he be cooperating with prosecutors?
Could he be indicted next? That’s unclear.Meadows’ sudden low profile is a serious change in dynamic for those of us who’ve covered him since he came to Washington as a baby North Carolina lawmaker.
