Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe includes an expansive inquiry into Trump’s wide-ranging effort to subvert the election, as well as issues specific to Georgia.
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, as well as issues specific to Georgia.
The latter includes a January 2021 phone call in which Trump pressed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes for him to prevail in the state. Meadows was on the line for that phone call, and he also traveled to Georgia in December 2020 to monitor an audit of the state’s election results — a trip that has also drawn scrutiny from the Jan. 6 select committee.
