Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has been ordered by a South Carolina judge to testify before a jury in Atlanta for an investigation into efforts to reverse the 2020 presidential election, The Washington Post reports.
Meadows had reportedly been avoiding appearing before the special grand jury investigating Georgia election interference, writes The New York Times. The inquiry examines "the multistate, coordinated efforts to influence the results of the Nov. 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere," according to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. She filed a petition to subpoena Meadows back in August, which was approved on Wednesday by South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Edward Miller.
