Trump chief Mark Meadows testified in 2020 election case after immunity order

Meadows testified to a grand jury about the ex-president's efforts to overturn 2020 elections after being forced by a court order

Donald Trump's former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows testified to a federal grand jury about efforts by the former president to overturn the 2020 election results pursuant to a court order that granted him limited immunity from prosecution, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The immunity - a powerful tool that forces witnesses to testify on the promise that they will not be charged on their statements or information derived from their statements - came after a legal battle in March with special counsel prosecutors, who had subpoenaed Meadows.
