Turns out Mark Meadows has already testified against in BOTH Jack Smith probes
Earlier today the New York Times reported that Mark Meadows had already testified against Donald Trump to the grand jury in Jack Smith’s January 6th probe. Now ABC News is reporting that Meadows has also testified to the grand jury in Jack Smith’s classified documents probe.
This still doesn’t make clear whether or not Meadows has cut a cooperation deal and “flipped” on Trump. By court order, Meadows was required to testify about every Trump crime that he witnessed but didn’t participate in. Any deal would only be to allow Meadows to also testify about the Trump crimes that incriminated Meadows.
Deal or no deal, we now know that Mark Meadows has testified in both of Jack Smith’s major criminal cases against Donald Trump. And remember, this didn’t happen today. The media is reporting that Meadows testified at some unknown point in the past. It’s starting to feel like Meadows is the one tipping off the media about having testified, so he can get the resulting headlines out of the way before the Trump indictments come down.
What really stands out is that it’s starting to feel as if Jack Smith is treating his two major Trump probes as if they’re actually one big probe. At the least, Smith appears to be bringing both probes to completion at the same time – making it convenient for indictment purposes.
