FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, HIS TEAM AND THEIR LEGAL PROBLEMS INCREASE

 

…The legal problems for the former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, gets even worse

 

The more that Trump’s people are investigated, the worse it gets

 

We are all aware that former President Trump has had a problem with telling the truth.  Now it seems that his final White House Chief of Staff, also has a similar problem.  It was confirmed to The Washington Post last week, that the public information director for the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), said that Mark Meadows, Trump’s last Chief of Staff, was under investigation.

It appears that Mr. Meadows registered to vote in 2020 using the address of a small mobile home that he has never lived in.

Anjanette Grube, Public Information Director for the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, confirmed that the matter is under investigation.  It was also confirmed that the North Carolina State Board of Elections is also investigating Meadows.  A spokeswoman for the N.C. board referred any questions to the state attorney general’s office.  So apparently, the state AG is also involved.

“Local district attorney Ashley Welch has referred this matter to the Department of Justice’s Special Prosecutions Section, and we have agreed to her request,” Nazneen Ahmed, press secretary for the North Carolina Department of Justice, said in a statement. “We have asked the SBI to investigate and at the conclusion of the investigation, we’ll review their findings.”

Meadows, 62, represented North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District from 2013 to 2020, before he became Trump’s Chief of Staff. 

Ben Williamson, a spokesman for Meadows, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to a report by the New Yorker earlier this month, it said that Meadows filed his voter registration in September 2020, three weeks before North Carolina’s deadline for the general election.  In his voter registration, he listed his residential address as a mobile home in Scaly Mountain, N.C.  Neither the mobile home, nor the property with that address, have belonged to him, and he has never lived there, the magazine said.

It is unclear whether Meadows has spent even one night at that address.

The small mobile home belongs to a Lowe’s retail manager, who bought it last summer from a widow living in Florida. The woman, who also told the New Yorker that she had no idea Meadows had listed the home as his address in his voter registration form.

After the 2020 election, Meadows is well known for promoting Trump’s false claims that widespread voter fraud cost him the election to Democrat Joe Biden.

It is illegal to provide false information on a voter registration, and while Americans can have multiple residences, they can have only one official domicile, which is tied to their voter registration. To register to vote in North Carolina, a citizen must have lived in the county where they are registering and have resided there for at least 30 days before the date of the election.  This is according to the state’s board of elections.

Experts have scrutinized Meadows’s actions as potential voter fraud. The Washington Post’s Fact Checker has examined the details of the case and wrote that it was “jarring to see such fishy behavior by someone who decried voter fraud.”

And for the former president, and his cronies, the investigations continue to show that things were even worse than we had imagined.
