Former President Donald Trump‘s chief of staff Mark Meadows burned documents pertaining to the plan to overturn the 2020 election, conservative political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin reported during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
Griffin, a former Trump White House official, claimed that a source with “first-hand knowledge” had testified about Meadows burning documents following a meeting with Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania) to the House select committee that has been investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack for the past 11 months, nothing that she expects the aide’s interview will come out in the on-going public hearings this summer.
The unnamed aide’s allegation corroborates former Meadows aide Cassidy Hutchinson‘s testimony where she spoke of the same instance before the committee last month. Griffin could also have been referring to Hutchinson on Sunday. Hutchinson will likely participate in the live hearings this summer to elaborate on her interview.
