Special Counsel Investigating Former President Trump Subpoenas Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Former Vice President Mike Pence

Former President Donald Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating the former president and his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection, according to a source familiar with the matter. This news follows the recent subpoena of former Vice President Mike Pence, as reported by CNN last week.

The special counsel, Jack Smith, is seeking documents and testimony related to the attack on the Capitol on January 6. The subpoena was reportedly issued sometime in January.

The investigation is also looking into Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. Pence spoke out on the matter, saying, “We’ll take that case as far as it needs to go, if need be to the Supreme Court of the United States, because to me, it’s – it’s an issue of the separation of powers.”

Meadows was with Trump in the Oval Office as the former president’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6. The subpoena of Meadows marks a significant step in the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s role in seeking to overturn the election results.

The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear what the outcome will be. However, the subpoena of Meadows and Pence is a sign that the special counsel is taking the investigation seriously and is looking into all aspects of the former president’s role in the insurrection.
