Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reportedly informed former President Donald Trump that the claims of election fraud in the 2020 election were baseless, according to anonymous sources cited by ABC News and Bloomberg. Meadows, who is facing criminal charges related to efforts to overturn the election and the events of January 6, 2021, allegedly testified before a federal grand jury and told them that he had informed Trump that the election was not being stolen. However, despite this alleged conversation, Meadows continued to push election fraud claims in his book and beyond. In the book, Meadows used language such as "stolen" and "rigged" when discussing the election and blamed the media for ignoring allegations of fraud. It is unclear what Meadows' lawyer told ABC News regarding the accuracy of their story. Meadows was reportedly granted immunity in exchange for his testimony, and his statements cannot be used against him in federal court. The report raises questions about the extent to which Meadows and Trump were aware of the baselessness of the election fraud claims.
