Donald Trump reportedly had Mark Meadows personally remove boxes of classified documents from White House
This week we got the pivotal, yet not surprising, news that Mark Meadows has already testified against Donald Trump to the DOJ grand jury. One news outlet has gone further, reporting that Meadows cut the kind of immunity deal that allowed him to give broader testimony against Trump. Meadows’ attorney is claiming no deal happened. But it is clear that Meadows did testify against Trump
That’s what makes today’s latest revelation so remarkable. Investigative reporter Murray Waas, who has broken a number of stories over the years, is now reporting that Donald Trump had Mark Meadows pack up boxes of classified documents on their way out of the White House at the end of Trump’s term. This obviously puts Meadows at the dead center of the DOJ’s classified documents case, and makes it an even bigger deal that he’s testified to the grand jury.
In addition, if Trump ordered Meadows to pack up the classified documents as they were leaving office, it’ll prove that Trump didn’t merely take documents by accident and then stubbornly refuse to return them. It’ll mean he specifically instructed his right hand man to help him steal them. This would make Trump and Meadows both guilty of espionage, which would explain why Meadows has reportedly cut a limited immunity deal.
The truth about all this stuff will come out in the indictment text, so at this point we’re just waiting for the hammer to fall. It would still theoretically be today. It could be tomorrow. And as we’ve seen from other grand juries that were on the verge of indicting, it could end up not happening until next week. The waiting game is what it is. In the meantime, the news just keeps getting even uglier for Trump. Might as well enjoy it while waiting.
