Former President Donald J. Trump said he hoped Mark Meadows — his final White House chief of staff and a co-defendant in a sweeping racketeering indictment in Georgia stemming from efforts to thwart the 2020 election — was still “loyal” to him.
Mr. Trump made his comment during a lengthy interview with Kristen Welker, the new moderator of NBC’s “Meet The Press,” broadcast on Sunday morning. Mr. Trump has been warned by the federal judge in a case also stemming from his efforts to stay in office, brought against him by the special counsel Jack Smith, to avoid saying anything that might affect the testimony of witnesses. His comment about Mr. Meadows could attract new interest.
A lawyer for Mr. Meadows did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Both Mr. Meadows and Mr. Trump are among 19 co-defendants in the Fulton County, Ga., indictment brought by the district attorney, Fani T. Willis. It accuses those charged with a criminal conspiracy to overturn Mr. Trump’s loss in the state in his re-election effort.

Will be framed as intimidation by the federal persecutor. He really needs to shut up and quit giving Smith the bullets to shoot him with.
After today,Trump should stop giving interviews
Self-incriminating statement.
lol!
Funny how the Never Trumpers pounced on this post immediately. 🤣
They’re out in force today, and still having delusional dreams that Ron DeSantis will be the next president!
I am a trump supporter who lives in realville. You may want to visit there some day.
Trump is only entitled to such loyalty as he demonstrates to others....which is not much.
I think they are secret Biden supporters.. Nothing MAGA about them…
So Trump’s going to make Meadows an offer he can’t refuse?
Note Trump doesn’t just say things like this, as if it’s on his mind. Idiot interviewers ask stupid questions like “do you want this guy to turn against you” so he answers quite logically “no.”
Name one dead girl - live boy? Ugly on a stick! Typical Trans-Republican accusation.
I hate the NYT.
“Self-incriminating statement.”
Got to be a rabid Desantis supporter.
Most people would say that is a polite way of saying he hopes he doesn’t lie and try to weasel out.
RE Self-incriminating statement.
Not necessarily. Witnesses and indicted associates could be pressured into lying. Staying loyal would mean insisting on the truth being told.
I believe that some of the NeverTrumpers here are conservatives who genuinely dislike the man and support DeSantis, but I also believe there are many others who are nothing more than RNC and DNC paid media trolls.
Self-incriminating statement.“
No it’s not. It’s an honest statement. Trump doesn’t measure words as a rule. This is how he feels. It was not an intimidation though he will be accused of if.
There wasn’t one LOYAL MoFo in the previous Trump administration. They were all treasonous azzhos with the females being the worst. Everybody already had a Trash Trump “book” written when he hired them. If Trump does get reelected, he needs to drop all the females and idiots with their testicles hangin down from under their kilt while blowing somebody’s bagpipe. You can’t trust those maggots.
