The US Department of Justice subpoenas former Trump chief of staff for the assault on the Capitol

He does so after calling former Vice President Mike Pence and former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien to testify.

MADRID, 16 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The US Department of Justice has subpoenaed former President Donald Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to request his testimony in the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump's role during the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol.

The special counsel for overseeing Trump investigations, Jack Smith, has asked Meadows for documents and testimony related to the failed attempt by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election, a source familiar with the matter has told the CNN network.

The subpoena comes nearly a week after the Justice Department subpoenaed former Vice President Mike Pence and former Trump Administration national security adviser Robert O'Brien, all as part of the ongoing investigation into the capitol assault. .

Meadows was present at a December 2020 White House meeting at which the voter fraud claims began. In addition, she also visited a site where an audit of the presidential elections in the state of Georgia was being carried out and sent emails to Justice Department officials alleging unsubstantiated fraud allegations, according to the aforementioned chain.

On January 6, 2021, Trump's former chief of staff entered and left the Oval Office and witnessed Trump's actions as rioters stormed the US Capitol, which is why prosecutor Jack Smith considers his testimony relevant.
