Mark Meadows has testified that he told Trump several times that there was no basis to any claims of widespread election fraud

Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election.

According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being "dishonest" with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.

Isn’t it interesting that in 2017 it took them 3 YEARS to determine the 2016 election was legit and that Russia collusion was a hoax.

But when 2020 happened and Joe Biden got a ridiculous 81 million votes after hiding in his basement all year, barely campaigning, refusing to give REAL interviews, pulling in a few hundred people to the few rallies he held, anyone who questioned that election result was immediately stomped down and told to shut the F up.

THREE YEARS compared to THREE MINUTES

Except for all the evidence of election fraud that was all out in the public during the rest of November after the election. All that doesn't count.

Unfortunately it is easy to take articles like these at face value, until you stop & think just how much the press lies.

Best to hold off until the person being assailed by the press has a chance to speak. But nonetheless even if it is true, it is only the opinion of Mark Meadows. I personally think his opinion is not only flawed but is categorically wrong.

We are smart enough to recognize that there were too many irregularities, on so many levels, to claim there is no evidence of election theft.

This lawfare tactic can easily destroy people financially. Republicans had better learn how to use it against the Democrats on a grand scale, otherwise, they will be threatened continuously.

Everyone Trump hires is an idiot, and Trump himself calls them idiots, and I point it out and somehow that makes it my fault that Trump hires idiots.

You are only pointing out the idiots. You are specifically pointing out the idiots. You are trying to draw attention to the fact that Trump has had to deal with some idiots.

Looked at your page. You appear to have lived in Florida quite a lot, so I assume you are a DeSantis supporter.

I like DeSantis a lot, but he made a seriously bad mistake trying to take on Trump this year. I knew Trump would do to him what he did to Ted Cruz. I was a Cruz supporter, and I could see it coming.

Trump played nice until there was no option left, then he went nuclear on Cruz. I knew he was going to do the same thing to DeSantis, and I tried to tell people this was going to happen.

Your choice is simple. Trump or evil. You don't get another choice.

I'm voting Trump.

Exactly. Rat Party Headquarters knew that given how close it was,Electoral votes-wise,all they needed to do was steal one or two counties in three or four states.

Isn’t testimony as to what Trump said called hearsay? Is hearsay allowed as evidence in a trial?

Whether or not mark meadows said any such thing, one would have to determine the significance of this based on whether mark meadows was the absolute expert on this subject and was in some position that required Donald Trump to agree with him.

I’m pretty sure DJT had a right to his own opinion.

Yep, I don’t care what anyone says, I know damn well Trump was ahead 20 points in Georgia then late at night it was obvious as hell bullcrap was going on, every vote coming in was for Biden Biden Biden. I’ve been voting since 1980 and I have NEVER ever seen something like that in my life.

Plus at the very basic level, the election laws were unconstitutionally changed by democrat lawyers using Covid as an excuse when only state legislatures can change those laws, so right there, any ballot counted under the changed law should be deemed VOID

Key words are “widespread” and “significant voting fraud” - we all know it was targeted to a handful of cities>>> exactly and was it fraud or did they break just about all the voting laws. Was their intent to defraud? I don’t care. they broke the law and cheated to win the election.

I think the lawfare tactic should be made illegal.

Silly you... there is only ‘widespread’ fraud when a God-fearing conservative wins.

Testimony about statements made by a party to an action aren’t considered to be hearsay.
