South Carolina's Supreme Court ordered Meadows to testify in an probe of former President Donald Trump's alleged interference in Georgia's election results.

The state high court on Tuesday affirmed a lower court ruling last month ordering Meadows to appear before the panel. The former Republican congressman is the latest Trump associate to lose a legal fight over a summons to testify. The next day, Willis wrote, Meadows made a “surprise visit” to Cobb County, just outside Atlanta, where an audit of signatures on absentee ballot envelopes was being conducted. Meadows also sent emails to Justice Department officials after the election alleging voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere and requesting investigations, Willis wrote. He turned over thousands of texts to the House Jan. 6 committee before eventually refusing to do an interview.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is expected to interview former Secret Service agent Tony Ornato on Tuesday about Donald Trump’s actions on the day of the insurrection.

ATLANTA — (AP) — A judge on Wednesday ordered former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to testify before a special grand jury that's investigating whether President Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence Georgia's 2020 election. Now, Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller in Pickens County, South Carolina, has honored McBurney's finding and ordered Meadows to testify, Willis spokesman Jeff DiSantis confirmed. Meadows is a key witness as the special grand jury investigates whether Trump and his allies sought to illegally influence the election. It is ultimately up to the district attorney to decide whether to seek an indictment from a regular grand jury. Because the special grand jury is expected to ultimately issue a public report, ordering Meadows to testify would violate his state right to privacy, Bannister argued.

Meadows is one of a number of high-profile associates and advisers of the Republican former president whose testimony Willis has sought. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who's overseeing the special grand jury, signed off on the petition, certifying that Meadows is a "necessary and material witness" for the investigation. Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller in Pickens County, South Carolina, honored McBurney's finding and ordered Meadows to testify, Willis spokesman Jeff DiSantis confirmed. Special grand juries in Georgia cannot issue indictments. But it is ultimately up to the district attorney to decide whether to seek an indictment from a regular grand jury.

ATLANTA — (AP) — Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff, is trying to avoid having to testify before a Georgia special grand jury that's investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the state's 2020 election. Because Meadows lives outside of Georgia, Willis can't simply issue a subpoena for his testimony. Despite the special grand jury's inability to indict, McBurney wrote in response to an attempt by Georgia Gov. The next day, Willis wrote, Meadows made a "surprise visit" to Cobb County, just outside Atlanta, where an audit of signatures on absentee ballot envelopes was being conducted. Meadows also sent emails to Justice Department officials alleging voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere and requesting investigations, Willis wrote.

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff, is trying to avoid having to testify before a Georgia special grand jury that’s investigating whether then-President Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the state’s 2020 election.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas temporarily blocked a similar Georgia grand jury subpoena to Sen. Lindsey Graham, an ally of Donald Trump.

The House Jan. 6 committee is interviewing Hope Hicks, a longtime aide to former President Donald Trump.

Just weeks before the Nov. 8 election, Utah’s senior senator, Republican Mike Lee, is now acknowledging a real political threat from Evan McMullin.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee has used a debate with his challenger Monday evening to try to draw a distinction between his record and former President Donald Trump's.

After the Supreme Court rejected Trump's election challenge cases, he angrily insisted his chief of staff 'figure it out,' according to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has collected a staggering trove of evidence.

According to The NYT, Trump often eschewed reading through detailed intelligence reports but was attracted to graphics and other data-driven visuals.

Former Trump aide Sarah Matthews said Meadows' text messages from January 6 show he many people told him to get the situation under control.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has scheduled its next hearing for Oct. 13.

The Georgia prosecutor investigating whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke the law trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state is seeking search warrants in the case.

The Supreme Court begins a new term on Monday at a time of diminished public confidence and justices sparring openly over the institution’s legitimacy.

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has stood by the false claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent during an interview with the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Denver Riggleman, a former GOP congressman, told "60 Minutes" that Mark Meadows received texts about the alternate electors plot days after the election.

The Supreme Court doesn’t appear to have found the person who leaked a draft of the court’s major abortion decision last spring.

The conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will be interviewed by the committee in the coming weeks.

Testimony from a former White House aide is the first indication that he sought a pardon for his own exposure related to the Justice Department inquiry.

The 2021 assertion to the National Archives vastly misrepresented the scale and variety of documents, including classified records, later recovered from Trump’s property.

The records produced by Meadows are the same ones he earlier provided to a House committee conducting a similar investigation, according to the person, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing Justice Department probe. The subpoena to Meadows, first reported by CNN, makes clear that Justice Department officials are seeking information from the most senior of Trump's White House advisers as they examine wide-ranging efforts to overturn the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden. Meadows has been a pivotal figure in the House investigation, his name invoked repeatedly in testimony by other Trump advisers, including by his own top aide. He had provided the committee with thousands of text messages, including communications with outside Trump allies and advisers. Meadows did not provide to the committee records he believed were subject to claims of executive privilege and those documents were also not produced to the Justice Department.

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has complied with a Justice Department subpoena and turned over records as part of a federal investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol and efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election.

Former President Donald Trump is sitting on top of more than $115 million across several political committees.

Nichols said he would rule “appropriately quickly.” The House subpoena will expire in January if Republicans prevail in November’s elections. In opposition, Terwilliger argued that such a balancing test would defeat the whole purpose of protecting frank, full and unvarnished communications among a president’s advisers. Meadows stance is a principled one, borne in part out of his respect for the necessity of maintaining the confidentiality of [presidential] communications and deliberations,” Terwilliger said. “We hope Mr. Meadows would say, ‘I have no valid grounds for not showing up. I will now do my patriotic duty and show up, and do what so many others have done,’ ” Letter said, saying the Jan. 6 committee has heard from hundreds of witnesses including Cabinet secretaries and White House counsel.

The National Archives realized it did not have all of the former White House chief of staff's communications after his January 6 committee submissions.

The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is seeking information from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich about his communications with senior advisers to then-President Donald Trump in the days leading up to the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp must testify, while agreeing with the Republican's request to delay that appearance until after the Nov. 8 election. Graham has asked for a partial quashing of the subpoena, which had initially instructed him to appear before the special grand jury last month. The judge had previously rejected Graham's attempts to challenge the subpoena, but an appeals court sent the matter back to May to decide whether the subpoena should be partially quashed or modified because of the constitutional protections. During those calls, Graham asked about “reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome for former President Donald Trump,” Willis wrote in a petition seeking to compel his testimony.

A federal judge has ruled constitutional protections don’t shield U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham from testifying before a special grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that constitutional protections don't shield U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham from testifying before a special grand jury investigating possible illegal efforts to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May rejected Graham’s argument that all his calls with Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, were protected under the U.S. Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause, which shields members of Congress from questioning about official legislative acts. The ruling does push Graham — one of Trump's top congressional allies and a key figure in the former president's postelection activities — one step closer to testifying before the special grand jury empaneled this year by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

Lawyers for John Eastman say they advised their client to assert attorney-client privilege and invoke his constitutional right to remain silent when testifying before a special grand jury investigating possible election interference in Georgia.

Former chief of staff Mark Meadows, lawyer Sidney Powell are among the highest-profile members of Trump's circle to be called to testify in the probe.

Because they don't live in Georgia, Willis has to use a process that involves getting judges in the states where they live to order them to appear. Giuliani, who's been told he's a target of the investigation, testified before the special grand jury last week. Brian Kemp appeared in court to argue that he shouldn't have to testify before the special grand jury. Last week, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed that it is helping the Georgia secretary of state’s office look into an alleged breach of elections data in Coffee County in south Georgia, Willis wrote. When its investigation is complete, the special grand jury issues a final report and can recommend action.

The prosecutor who's investigating whether Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia is seeking to compel testimony from more allies of the former president.

Seeking testimony from Meadows, who was Trump's final White House chief of staff, signifies that the investigation is getting even closer to the former president. Willis has said she's considering calling Trump himself to testify before the special grand jury. Because they don’t live in Georgia, Willis has to use a process that involves getting judges in the states where they live to order them to appear. He asked to observe the audit but wasn’t allowed to because it wasn’t open to the public, the petition says. Between Jan. 30, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2021, Meadows sent emails to Justice Department officials making allegations of voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere and requesting investigations, Willis wrote.
