Donald Trump just gave away that he thinks “rat” Mark Meadows has flipped on him
When multiple major news outlets reported weeks ago that Mark Meadows had testified against Donald Trump to the DOJ grand jury, it wasn’t a surprise. The courts had already ordered Meadows to give a certain amount of testimony, and if he hadn’t done so by now, he’d have been hauled off for contempt. The real question was whether Meadows had cut a cooperation deal and given full testimony against Trump. One news outlet claimed he had, but Meadows’ attorney disputed this.
But now it turns out Donald Trump very much thinks Meadows has flipped. According to a surreal new report from Rolling Stone today, Trump recently instructed his people to investigate Meadows to try to confirm whether he’s flipped. Trump’s people didn’t come away with a definitive answer, but they’re now calling him a “rat,” which pretty much tells you what they think happened.
So there you have it. Donald Trump and his people think that Mark Meadows has indeed flipped on him. That would be devastating for Trump. And it’s possible that his attempt at “investigating” Meadows could result in some kind of witness tampering charges against him.
