Key witness: former White House Chief of Staff granted immunity to testify in Trump’s legal battle 

Mark Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff, has been granted immunity to testify under oath against the former President of the United States, Donald Trump.

In a dramatic turn of events, Meadows will take center stage as the star witness in the legal battle against Trump, who faces charges of attempting to unlawfully retain power and spreading falsehoods about the outcome of the 2020 elections.

According to Meadows, he conscientiously and repeatedly advised Trump in the weeks following the 2020 presidential election, fervently insisting that the allegations of widespread voting fraud were entirely without merit. This represented a remarkable departure from Trump’s relentless rhetoric, which had continually contested the legitimacy of the election results.

In a parallel legal development, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, is testifying in a New York court as part of the former President’s civil fraud trial. Cohen’s testimony is all the more significant given his previous unwavering loyalty to Trump, once even claiming that he would take a bullet for him. However, their relationship soured dramatically during Trump’s time in office, leading to this unexpected courtroom showdown.
