Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to testify before Capitol attack committee

Meadows will appear for a deposition and provide documents exempt from executive privilege before the committee

Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows will testify before the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack as part of an initial cooperation agreement reached with his lawyer, the panel's chairman, Bennie Thompson, announced on Tuesday.

The agreement involves Meadows appearing for a deposition and providing documents that are not protected by executive privilege. The move is aimed at staving off the threat of criminal prosecution for defying a subpoena in its entirety.
