As Congress and the Justice Department continue to investigate the events of Jan. 6, Trumpworld is desperate for a legal scapegoat — and it looks like former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows could be the chosen one.
Media reports say Trump’s inner circle views Meadows as a likely fall guy for the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump’s legal team has reportedly begun strategizing around Meadows’ downfall, while Trump himself has privately denied knowing that his former aide was up to no good.
“Mark is gonna get pulverized ... and it’s really sad,” one of Trump’s current legal advisers told Rolling Stone. “He was obviously just trying to perform for Trump, and now he’s maybe screwed himself completely.”
