(Bloomberg) — Mark Meadows, former President Donald Trump’s last chief of staff, has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Meadows was subpoenaed as part of an investigation being led by Special Counsel Jack Smith and would become the highest-ranking official who worked for Trump to go before the grand jury, according to the person who asked to remain anonymous to speak about the matter.
The subpoena was reported earlier by CNN.
Investigators subpoenaed former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before the grand jury. Pence, whom Trump pressured to reject Electoral College votes from swing states, has pledged to challenge the subpoena, all the way to the US Supreme Court, if necessary.
The special counsel’s office declined to comment and a lawyer for Meadows didn’t return messages seeking comment.
