Former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to cooperate with Jan. 6 select committee

The chairman of the committee said Meadows has been "engaging" with the panel.

Mark Meadows, who served as former President Donald Trump's last chief of staff and was involved in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, is now cooperating with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the panel, said in a statement that Meadows has been "engaging" with the panel through his lawyer, providing records to the committee "and will soon appear for an initial deposition."

Meadows was subpoenaed by the committee in late September for records and testimony regarding his and Trump's activities before and during the Capitol riot.

His lawyer initially said Meadows wouldn't cooperate with the committee because of Trump's plans to assert executive privilege, an argument dismissed by the committee, whose members will vote this week to hold former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark in contempt of Congress for ignoring the panel's subpoenas.
