Trump Attacks Bombshell Jan. 6 Witness Outside His Own Fraud Trial — Says Mark Meadows ‘Always Believed’ Stolen Election Lie

Former President Donald Trump attacked bombshell January 6 witness Mark Meadows outside his own fraud trial, and gave his own version of what Meadows thinks about the election lies.

ABC News reported extensively that Meadows has been spilling the beans to Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team under a grant of immunity about the effort to overturn the 2020 election, and in particular that “he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless.”

Trump was in court once again Wednesday for his trial in the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James and presided over by Judge Arthur Engoron. Also in court — for a second day — was Trump’s former fixer-turned-star witness Michael Cohen.

Just before Trump entered the courtroom, he spoke to reporters on a variety of topics, including one reporter who asked him if he’s worried about the Meadows flip:

REPORTER: Are you concerned about Mark Meadows (inaudible)

DONALD TRUMP: I don’t believe that because I’ve spoken to Mark Meadows many, many times over the years, and he strongly believed the election was rigged.

Now, of course, you know, deranged Jack Smith and the prosecutors, they go after somebody for years and they say, look, here’s a story. We’ll give you nothing. We’ll erect a statue to you or you’re going to go to jail for ten years for having done nothing wrong. So, you know, a lot of people have to make that decision. Some people would never make that decision. Other people would.

But Mark Meadows always felt it was rigged, the whole thing was rigged. It was rigged and it was stolen. And because it was rigged and stolen, our country is going to hell.

You take a look at the border and you take a look at Israel that would have never happened. If you take a look at Ukraine, that would have never happened. Our country is going to have to, just look at energy, energy independent. We were and now we’re not energy independent. We’re not even close with buying energy from Venezuela and lots of other places. And we have more liquid gold under our feet. We’re a crime-ridden nation. We’re a nation in decline, all because of a rigged in stolen election. Thank you very much.

Trump was under a gag order in the case, but it has been lifted pending a ruling on his motion to overturn it.
