Donald Trump lashed out at Mark Meadows after it emerged that he has reportedly been granted immunity in exchange for cooperating with prosecutors in the federal 2020 election interference case.
“Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards, and so bad for the future our Failing Nation. I don’t think that Mark Meadows is one of them, but who really knows? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Mark Meadows NEVER told me that allegations of significant fraud (about the RIGGED Election!) were baseless. He certainly didn’t say that in his book!”
ABC News reported that the former White House chief of staff has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith‘s team multiple times this year.
The report came after Mr Trump sat face to face with Michael Cohen for the first time in years at his $250m civil fraud trial in New York.
Cohen, the former president’s onetime attorney and “fixer”, testified he had been instructed to fraudulently increase valuations of key Trump assets.
The day ended with a series of heated exchanges as Trump attorney Alina Habba cross-examined the one-time Trump Organization insider. The showdown is expected to resume today.
