Meadows Asks Judge To Block Georgia Subpoena

Politico reports:

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is resisting a subpoena from Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts by Donald Trump to subvert the 2020 election in Georgia, according to newly filed court records.

Meadows is urging a judge in Pickens County, S.C., where he now resides, to reject an effort by Fulton County, Georgia, to subpoena him for testimony in November.

Meadows is a crucial witness for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is probing Trump’s effort to pressure state officials to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Willis’ probe includes an expansive inquiry into Trump’s wide-ranging effort to subvert the election.

Meadows is fighting this effort in his home county of Pickens, South Carolina. That’s because when the Fulton DA seeks to compel testimony from an out-of-state witness, it requires approval from a local/county court in the state where the witness resides.https://t.co/TGQ8r7S05G
