Mark Meadows Testifies in Fulton County Trial

Mark Meadows takes the stand in the Fulton County election subversion trial, testifying about his job at the White House and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election result. The testimony seeks to establish that Meadows' actions were part of his official government duties. His aim is to convince the judge to move the trial from state court to federal court, a more advantageous legal spot for Meadows. However, the testimony also exposes Meadows to additional criminal exposure by admitting his involvement and knowledge of the events after the election. The judge's upcoming decision on removal and immunity claims will have significant implications for Meadows and the other 18 codefendants in the racketeering case.
