Former Donald Trump chief of staff-turned-co-defendant Mark Meadows is seeking access to records from his time in the White House to aid in contesting criminal charges against him in Georgia. Court records reveal that Meadows no longer has access to his calendars, emails, and other documents from the end of the Trump presidency, and Georgia prosecutors did not receive them from federal authorities.
Due to the unavailability of these records for Meadows' legal defense, he has initiated efforts to obtain them from the federal government. His attorneys stated that these records are crucial as they detail Meadows' actions, directives to subordinates, timing, and rationale behind his decisions.
