Mark Meadows, Trump's Last White House Chief of Staff
Former Congressman and White House Chief of Staff Indicted
Details and Background on Meadows' Indictment
Mark Randall Meadows, born July 28, 1959, is an American politician who served as the 29th White House Chief of Staff under President Donald Trump from March 31, 2020, to January 20, 2021. He was recently indicted as part of an ongoing investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot.
Meadows is a former Republican congressman from North Carolina who served from 2013 to 2020. He was a close ally of President Trump and played a significant role in the Trump administration, particularly in the final months leading up to the January 6 insurrection.
The indictment against Meadows includes charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, attempting to obstruct an official proceeding, and making false statements. Prosecutors allege that Meadows was involved in a scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by pressuring state officials to change the results and by promoting the "Big Lie" that the election was stolen from Trump.
Meadows has not yet entered a plea to the charges, and his trial date has not yet been set. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
