According to a new report, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is laying the foundation to assist Georgia prosecutors in their efforts to convict former President Donald Trump of racketeering and conspiracy charges relating to Trump’s 2020 election challenge.

Nineteen individuals, including Trump, were indicted in the case, leading to rumors that many of those indicted would reach plea agreements with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

According to Politico, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen stated, “History has shown the 18 co-defendants that Donald doesn’t care about anyone but himself.”

“I suspect it will be every defendant for himself,” Cohen said.

Meadows practically pointed the finger at Trump in court when discussing a phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2, 2021.

Meadows has stated that he initiated the contact. However, his attorney noted that Meadows played a minor role in the communication itself.

“There’s a lot of statements by Mr. Trump. Mr. Meadows’ speaking roles were quite limited,” said Meadows’ attorney Michael Francisco.

“He didn’t make a request that you change the vote totals — Mr. Meadows, himself?” Francisco said.

“Correct,” testified Raffensperger.

It would be risky to rely on this judgment in the trial.

Trump’s exact remarks, according to a transcript published by the Washington Post, were: “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”

If Meadows turns against Trump, Politico reported that he will not be the only defendant to do so.

“Strategically speaking, if you are one of the lesser important players, you would definitely want to be in the same trial with Donald Trump. All of the focus is going to be on him,” attorney Scott Weinberg said.

“They don’t want the little guys, they want Trump. You’re always compared to who you’re next to,” he said. CONTINUE READING…
