Former President Donald Trump's team of advisors and political allies have been referring to his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, with a rat emoji in personal communication since Meadows' lawyer refused to comment on whether the former top aide had testified before a federal grand jury, sources with knowledge of the matter told Rolling Stone.
Special counsel Jack Smith's office sought to question Meadows under oath in two probes into twice-indicted Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election and retain classified government materials after leaving office.
