An aide to former Vice President Mike Pence described former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows as the “ringleader” with much of the events that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.
Marc Short, Pence’s former chief of staff, said Meadows was “central” in efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 6. Though Meadows was not charged in the Justice Department’s federal case, he was charged alongside former President Trump with racketeering and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer in the Fulton County, Ga., election case.
So we start to get reports that Meadows might be cooperating and now he’s suddenly being sold as the January 6th “ringleader” to set the narrative that anything he tells the prosecution or says in court are just lies to cover up for himself and blame poor, innocent Trump for Meadows having people “whispering falsehoods into the president’s ear”
