Former White House chief of staff MarkMeadows ordered to appear before Fulton County panel
Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller determined that Meadows is a “necessary and material” witness to the investigation and tossed out his bid to quash a subpoena lodged against him Wednesday. A lawyer for Meadows quickly told reporters he plans to appeal the ruling.
"[Meadows] possesses unique knowledge concerning the logistics, planning, execution, and subject matter of the January 2, 2021, phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger," a Fulton County explanation for Meadows's testimony explained."Witness's anticipated testimony is essential in that it is likely to reveal additional sources of information."
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis initiated the inquiry last year following audio that surfaced of a call between former President Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump underscored the need to"find" 11,780 votes in the Peach State, the figure needed to reverse his loss.
