Trump aides ordered to testify in Jan. 6 probe as judge rejects executive privilege claims.
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has ordered former aides of ex-President Donald Trump, including his ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows, to testify before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The ruling was against Trump's bid to block his aides from speaking to the grand jury on the grounds of executive privilege. Trump is expected to appeal the ruling. The special counsel appointed by the Department of Justice is overseeing two Trump-related criminal investigations, including the Jan. 6-centric probe.
