Trump aides ordered to testify in Jan. 6 grand jury investigation.

A federal judge has ordered several former Trump aides, including Mark Meadows, to testify before a grand jury as part of the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election, rejecting the former president’s claims of executive privilege. Trump’s legal team had challenged subpoenas issued by special counsel Jack Smith demanding testimony and documents from Meadows, the former president’s White House chief of staff, as well as several others by asserting executive privilege. Trump’s privilege claims for other former White House aides, including Stephen Miller and Dan Scavino, also were rejected.
