Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows has been strangely silent amid Trump's indictments, so much so that many have speculated that he's flipped on his former boss. According to a new report, Meadows joked about Trump's wild-eyed claim that many votes were fraudulently cast in the names of dead people in the 2020 election.
Trump insisted that there were close to 5,000 dead voters in Georgia and urged Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the 2020 election. Meadows' son, Blake Meadows, an attorney, looked into Trump's claims and, shockingly, found out they weren't true. Not even close.
The Washington Post reports:
In a text message that has been scrutinized by federal prosecutors, Meadows wrote to a White House lawyer that his son, Atlanta-area attorney Blake Meadows, had been probing possible fraud and had found only a handful of possible votes cast in dead voters' names, far short of what Trump was alleging. The lawyer teasingly responded that perhaps Meadows's son could locate the thousands of votes Trump would need to win the election. The text was described by multiple people familiar with the exchange.
