Testimony from Sidney Powell and Mark Meadows sought in Georgia election probe
CBSN
The prosecutor who's investigating whether Donald Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the 2020 election in Georgia is seeking to compel testimony from more allies of the former president, including former chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyer Sidney Powell.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed petitions Thursday seeking to have Meadows and Powell, as well as Meadows contact James "Phil" Waldron and former Trump campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta next month.
Seeking testimony from Meadows, who was Trump's final White House chief of staff, signifies that the investigation is getting even closer to the former president. Willis has said she's considering calling Trump himself to testify before the special grand jury.
