TL;DR Summary

Several former officials in the Trump administration, including his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, must testify in a 2020 election inquiry, according to a federal judge ruling. The former administration officials cannot invoke executive privilege to avoid testifying to a grand jury investigating Trump. Trump's legal team argued that his interactions with the officials were covered by executive privilege, something the judge disagreed with. The inquiry comes amid similar investigations into Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving office, his tax returns, and the Trump Organization, among others.
