"Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows Testifies in Georgia"

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff under Donald Trump, testified in a federal courtroom in Georgia, defending his participation in meetings and phone calls related to questioning the 2020 presidential election results. Meadows claimed a "federal nexus" to his actions and argued that he was seeking "free and fair elections" to build national trust and ensure a peaceful transfer of power. He is seeking to move his case from state to federal court, claiming he was acting as a federal officer. The judge will issue a decision on the matter soon. Meadows's testimony provided a preview of what could come as Trump faces multiple criminal indictments related to his attempts to stay in power after the election.
