High ranking Trump official stops cooperating with Capitol Riot Investigation
A high-ranking Trump official has stopped cooperating with a Congressional Committee’s investigation into the Capitol Riots
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, has abruptly ended his cooperation with the congressional committee who are currently investigating the January 6 assault.
Legal representatives have said in a letter that a deposition would be “untenable” for Mr Medows.
Just last week, it became apparant that Meadows was the highest ranking Trump official to cooperate in the investigation
That probe wanting to know what happened inside the white house during the lead up to the attacks.
It was supposed to be a rally, but it turned into a riot, that saw thousands of Trump supporters clash with authorities storming the halls of Congress.
The probe continues
The news of Mark Meadows no longer co-operating comes after he handed over documentation and agreed to front the committee soon for a deposition
But Meadows’ reversal to honour a subpoena could result in criminal contempt charges with the committee already filing those charges against Steve Bannon.
Before the riot, Trump gave a speech to his supporters repeating his claims that the election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud and urging them to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell” to “stop the steal.”
Mr Trump has urged associates not to cooperate with the committee, calling the investigation politically motivated and arguing that his communications are protected by executive privilege, although many legal experts have said that legal principle does not apply to former presidents.
